I am talking about equal coverage for parties. I have not seen this in a long long time.

Most news is broadcast daily all over the nation. On broadcast television. Get a life.

In essence you are saying media can do this because no one controls the media?

More people are still inclined to believe what they see/hear/read in mainstream media.

Corporate media loves us and the want what’s best for us so they protect us from those dastardly Republicans and that scoundrel Donald Trump!

I'm pretty sure that "equal time" law applied only to purely editorial content anyway. It certainly wasn't a "both sides news" for all news content. I'm not sure how you would possibly enforce and police such a thing from any logistical standpoint anyway.

If you want a true temperature of the country get on X now that it’s not throttled against conservatives. It’s per obvious the conservatives are greater than the democrats. Of course you have bots and stuff but Elon is good about removing them. Also when the largest democrats post a poll and gets 75 percent Trump and 20 percent Kamala it’s really people. They always delete the polls. The old school media has to make up for it by covering only democrats

Trump has essentially been covered nonstop for the last 9 years

I'm asking if you want to make government a LOT bigger and start regulating media (somehow, with the 1st Amendment) or cable TV (which would be a major regulatory addition to our over-bloated regulatory state).
I'm not disputing your premise, but it's more a question of what kind of solution you're offering while maintaining intellectual honesty within your professed political ideology.

That's one of my main arguments.

I'm pretty sure Rush Limbaugh was one of the big proponents of torpedoing the silly law.
I guess that was part of the supposed 'gotcha' of the guy who brought it up here.

I don't understand why this is allowed to exist in this manner. They claim there is no deep state but all I see is the opposite.
There is no entity to hold to account for this. The CEOs of the media companies have chosen their side and will not hold the democrats accountable in any way. It is insidious and anti-democratic. What channels will you watch football on? They are in the Ds camp. Kamala may ascend to the presidency without ever having held an adversarial press conference or under questioning. They already have this factored in. So in essence, we are not the same country that we once were.

If you add up the rating of most of those MSM outlets now, it might be a viewership of 10 million people in a country of 340 million. Guys the MSM does not much power anymore, their sway is mainly over boomers. I think the average age of people watching MSNBC was like 70 and other was like 65. As time goes on, MSM as you see it are fighting over an increasingly smaller and smaller viewership.
I agree the MSM viewership is decreasing, but it's reaching a lot of Americans.
How else can the Harris makeover be so successful????

Remember when lefties on this board gaslighted anyone that said the media was biased? I do.

It pains me to admit, I hear ya.
I'm constantly posting criticism of the MSM and it's the propaganda machine for the progressive left commies. But I'm not sure what can be done about it without infringing on 1st amendment rights. The Misinformation Police Biden tried to establish isn't the answer.
Encouraging more Americans to seek Independent Media information seems the best recourse.

The efficacy of their ability to set a narrative, no longer really seems all that tied to actual viewership/readership.
I think they figured this out some time ago.
