His supporters taking up the cause though and claiming a bias toward anything other than profitability is simply childish.

Anybody who thinks the coverage is the same for democrats and republicans is a fricking imbecile.
See, here we have an adult suffering from the delusion that news is fair and balanced.....news is what happens, it ain't what is reported. When you are a troll of epic proportions and that is the chief trait your supporters find attractive about you then you come off as disingenuous when you feign shock at the press's reaction to your man's trolling.
W was a republican and he was allowed to lead us into a war that has lasted what, 18 years and counting, with the assistance of the press. No Democrat has ever had that sort of support for an issue from the press. The press and mainstream and fringe media all share the same bias....a bias toward profitability over financial losses. If it bleeds it leads...The press is all about trolling in the same way Trump is....many are OK with Trump doing it because they can't pull it off themselves but they can't stand the press doing it because it is not fair and balanced....when most children learn at an early age that life and fairness very seldom ever cross paths...

Trump says he’s now taking hydroxychloroquine. He might be lying but could it be because he has a small stake in the company Sanofi who owns it? That’s according to Forbes this past April…

Either stupid or shameless. Maybe shamelessly stupid.
This was never an expensive drug to make, but the patent for HCQ expired like 40 years ago and now there are a whole bunch of companies that manufacture cheap generic versions in mass quantities. Even if you had a huge stake in the company that developed it and everybody in the country started taking it, anything you made would be pocket change — and holding Sanofi stock vs. any other manufacturer wouldn’t make a bit of difference at this point. The profit is too marginal and divided up among too many companies. Products like Remdesivir, Oseltamivir, and vaccines would likely be FAR more lucrative for stakeholders (not to mention patent holders) than the HCQ cocktail could ever hope to be, though.
And who are the ones shooting HCQ down in favor of the newer, more profitable interventions again? Because the way these people are acting I must have this all completely backwards.

Absolutely. It worked for Obama and it is working for Trump. I don't see how y'all don't get this????
So Fox News was the leading mainstream media outlet in the US during the Obama administration, no? Even when compared to the 3 networks and CNN /MSNBC Fox did and does a good job of holding its own, no? That is what Fox and followers of Fox claim so if it is not accurate that is on them, not me. If this is the case then Fox must've been blowing Obama during his administration. Strange that....it certainly didn't seem like Fox was toting the water and was in the bag for Obama but that is what you are claiming...and you are not alone....both sides have been making the same foolish claim for years, that the media is biased against them and supportive of their opponent. It plays well with the lightly informed who want to believe they are being victimized....but the fact of the matter is that with very few exceptions the media is biased toward profits only....if that means bashing Trump that means Trump is going to be bashed. Has it hurt his polling numbers, all of this media bias??? Hell no...in fact it shores up what would probably be ebbing support in the face of his dismal performance with handing out money during the Covid panic.
Trump is a troll...it is one trait that almost all of his supporters openly laud...a troll has to have fish rising to the bait....the media is that fish. You can't admire the trolling without accepting the gullibility of the fish....because the trolling is meaningless in the absence of the fish rising. Now if you are making these bias claims in order to play your roll in the trolling that makes perfect sense....but I suspect y'all have been doing it for years before you nominated and elected a Troll...maybe it was a strategic play to plant the seed that would lead to a troll being elected....that is pretty damned far fetched considering that the press has always been considered an enemy of the people or the state in every society since the beginning of time when one person would tell shite on another...but anyone who will continue the shell game of the media being biased against their side is probably more than willing to accept that they have been jockeying for the election of a troll to the US Presidency since the dawn of time....because the truth is secondary to reality in that world.

But you are out of the coma now and better???? The only explanation of how you can't know that W and the press falsely beat the drums of war and built up the invasion of Iraq and we have been involved for 18 years and counting....modern medicine is amazing...you have been in a coma for 18 years and come out lucid enough to post in a median that almost did not exist when you were struck...astonishing!!!

Who, W? If by attack you mean 24 -7 coverage of the 9/11 attacks and telling us we all were in danger of imminent death at the hands of terrorists and to go out and but plastic and water and prepare for battle? Of the entire WMD thing which was soundly debunked during the Clinton administration and was being attacked by people in the no when it was being touted??? yeah, if that was an attack then the media was viscous...or if it was support they were equally viscous. It would seem that W got his way so either the unfair attack was meaningless and had no impact OR the support worked...pick your poison my friend...

Both continuations of the press's support for the wars in the middle east because they are extremely profitable for the media....
So wich is it...the press is unfair to Republicans but republicans enjoy almost total control of government at every level in the United States and therefore the unfair press has NO impact on the GOP and its support OR the press is biased toward profitability and will sensationalize any story if it means more money for them....I would like to have the faith required to support the former statement but the cynic in me tells me the latter is more logical....and the rights constant harping on the medias bias supports this because it requires a media with some ability to make an impact...

Yep. MSM is not overall biased against conservatives. Totally sane position.

I am not debating that in the least my friend...the question is why Obama??? The answer is that it SOLD shite...people were tuned in....the right was on fire....the rise of the tea party is proof of this...the left was in love....the media stoked both camps and sold a shite ton of pecker pills and walk in tubs...because that is what the press does. As an institution there is no concern whatsoever who is in power and what they do except for the impact that will have on the medias profitability. Sure there are some ideologues in the press just as there is all walks of life...on both sides...but the institutions only bias is toward revenues exceeding expenses. And they do a pretty good job at that....
You are wrong though about the press starting this in 2008....Neal Boortz spoke about it ad nauseum in the early 1970's on talk radio in Atlanta....every person ever in any position of power and authority complained about the press's coverage of them....it is moronic to pretend otherwise...the press's job is to make money and money in the press needs controversy and debate and dissension. You can drive that in may ways...you can support a iconic image that has dispelled myths, Obama, and the people who do not support that image will buy anything you sale...or you can trash a troll and the people who do not support the troll will buy everything you sale...and guess what??? In both instances you are also pandering to a segment of society who will also buy what ever you are selling. But that is not what is going on, the media is in a conspiracy with the democratic party to take over the world like Dr. Evil....Riiigggghhhtttttt….

Soooo...again, I have to ask...what is the impact?
What is the goal of the GOP? I would posit it is to slow mankind's continuous march toward progress with the idea being that the only way for meaningful change to take place is for it to take place slowly and organically and not because the state forces it.
So the media is biased against this. The bias is MEANNIGLESS when you consider the GOP, despite massive demonstrable demographic issues in almost every GOP stronghold, manages to maintain control of almost all government in the United States at all levels. One could argue that if the media bias is having an impact it is a positive one for the GOP considering the number of elections the GOP manages to win every time an election is held...or, it could be argued that the bias has little impact and the GOP manages to wing more elections than it loses. Either the bias is helping or it has no impact....because the numbers do not lie, the nation is lead by and large by Republican politicians and has been for years....

In what way does that refute my premise? In fact it supports it...controversy sales pecker pills and walk in tubs....on the right y'all scream like mashed kitties when its one of yours in the spotlight, on the left every claim is legitimate and the perp must be destroyed...and the media makes money either way. That is as fair and balanced as life gets my friend...its fair to make money on controversy and a controversy needs balance in numbers lest it become an accepted fact. Nothing dooms a good crisis like finding a solution....

Again, you make my point for me....what you are describing is a stoking of controversy that indicates a bias toward stoking controversy. Unless I am mistaken didn't Kavanaugh get confirmed? Strange that....what we know is the media is profitable and they are apparently in-effective in their desire to promote democratic values and politicians over those of the GOP...these are what we have for facts....everything else is conjecture my friend...
