It's been there since Watergate.

Very little is different in terms of actual underlying attitude over the past 40yrs. E.g., beneath a superficial facade, identical anti-conservative venom, vitriol, and hate was certainly awash during the "W" years. We simply never had a POTUS capable of forcing it so visibly to the surface.

Until now the Media has been a bit like David Duke.
You knew there was underlying bigotry, vile vicious prejudice. But on the surface the ugliness was slathered over with attractive calm personalities presenting leftist talking points in tones of reserved expression, reasonable sounding posits and even pseudoeloquence.

Suddenly now though their message is not breaking through. Everytime they pose what in the past would resonate as an effective attack, they are thwarted. Worse yet they are beaten at their own game. There is frustration; even panic.

What you are seeing is a loss of composure. They badly underestimated an opponent. Now they sense the game is getting away. On the nightly news, wild-eyed, red-faced anchors issue spittle producing diatribes, and as their composure wanes, the public is given full glimpses of reality -- an unrepentant MSM revulsion to anything outside of leftist extremes.

Eventually, we should hope such exposure will lead to conclusions, both on the right and left, that our media shirked its journalistic responsibilities. That it gave up honesty in favor of socialist propaganda and progressive advocacy. Perhaps Nate Silver's recent irrefutable Presidential Historian critique stands as an early example.

So far, other than exposure, nothing attitudinally has changed though.

Wonder how the media is going to cover up pelosi through the end of the midterms?

That bitch is out taping republican ads daily.

Paying more taxes is "patriotic".

Hahahahaha

Why don't the lefties here bring her up more often? That is their gal! They all desperately want her to be speaker. Brag about her. Show your pride media!

Queen Nancy Antoinette from the land of steaming piles of shite, worth $100 million, lecturing peasants about taxes!

I love it. Have you ever considered that it's your party that's wrong about this? What other civilized country on this planet lets its citizens have the type guns that Americans have?

Why? Specific reasons how you think advocacy journalism is healthy and not a danger.

So many people would rush to the shop to buy guns, with cash, and order guns, with cash...the manufacturers would likely make more money than they otherwise would make.

and how many new first-time gun owners would that make? 5?

There really needs to be some sort of FCC regulation that prevents the kind of 'journalism' abuses we have suffered in the past 2 years.

Really dude? You think the FCC is going to stop this? I'll give you a hint, the FCC, like virtually ALL government agencies, was spawned the industry is was supposed to regulate. It's just pure cronyism.
