Mainstream America just voices a collective "ho hum" when informed of these alleged acts of impropriety. The truth is, unless it involves sex or sexual harassment, no one cares.
Sex is well, sexy.

I have never in my life seen the media reach such a level of advocacy before.
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.

It’s not, unless you’ve missinterpreted the “protest”. Which of your constitutional rights do you think these kids are threatening?

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!

The msm is our enemy. They have helped incite violence on a lot of trump supporters. They have helped dehumanize Trump supporters.
We have watched as our free press actually went hostile against a large portion of the population.
I can't stress this enough. frick them. The only ones that still hang on every word of the msm are rinos and liberals.

No one is suggesting restrictions in the right to protest.
However, rather than focusing on distraction of mindlessly shouting teenage marchers, the issues, rational, and individuals underpinning such protests should be exposed and understood. Likewise, socialist fanaticism in our press corps needs to be unroofed. Our Fourth Estate is presumed to be founded in truth. The more incorrect that presumption, the worse off we are as a country.

Why won't the media advocate for the wonder of a Nancy pelosi speakership?
Why won't you stand up for her?
Why won't they tell us how great that program to lower Hispanic juvenile arrests is working in broward county?
That is true progressivism right there. Are we on the wrong side of that?

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

If gun control (people control) was so important, why wasn't it completed under Obama's regime?
Why aren't gun-free zones actually kept gun free?

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.

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.
