Since the 80's seems we have fewer real reporters and just talking heads reading from a teleprompter
Well Mr. Rip Van Winkle, after 3+ decades of hibernating these real reporters of the black and white TV era are all gone. "fair and balanced" CNN is hosting debates after leaking debate questions to Hillary in advance.
90+% negative coverage of Trump when his disapproval rating is half that. Compare that to the 90+% positive coverage of Obama with very similar approval ratings. The vast majority of media is left slanted.

FWIW, Trump is a career politician. I was around him for about half a year in the early 80's and he was campaigning for president back then.
Rosanne Barr ran for president, I guess shes a career politician too.

ABC News just brushed over Biden’s son getting “tens of thousands of dollars per month” from a company in Ukraine and “unsubstantiated rumors” about Biden getting the prosecutor in Ukraine fired. Then they painted Iran in a positive light in regards to their dealings with the US. I don’t know if it’s “liberal” but it doesn’t seem truthful.

RADIO
Talk Radio is my neighborhood is certainly not left leaning. Across multiple stations I get 24 / 7 / 365 nut jobs peddling fear and loathing for ratings and paychecks. It has been this way for a good 20 - 30 years (especially as ownership has gone from local and regional families to a national company that owns all of them).
Several hispanic stations have popped up in the past decade or two but I don't speak the language so are these all liberal and I just don't understand it? Even if this is the liberal media, seems they all have weak signals which would indicate low listening numbers.
University Station plays classical music most of the time with news broadcasts on the hour that may lean slightly left. But outside of old farts like me, who listens to classical music anymore. Not exactly a ratings bonanza to change the hearts and minds of the masses.
I don't have satellite radio at home or in my car, is this where all the liberal media hangs out?
TV / CABLE
ABC / CBS / NBC don't seem to far to either extreme and peddle to the game show and soap opera crowds so not much need to push to the far left or far right crowd
FOX is right leaning but Murdoch always said he was running entertainment for ratings dollars and not reporting real news if there was no profit in it. Never should have let him have citizenship just so he could own more media in the US. American Media should really be owned by native born Americans.
CNN seems to push both sides and without a war do we really need 24 / 7 news?
MSNBC seems to be the opposite of FOX but you tune in there to get the news you want
BBC (non US version) gives a different world view but not sure all left driven
NEWSPAPERS
State papers are clearly not left leaning as they have been consolidated into national concerns who don't spend money on good reporters anymore
Wall Street Journal got purchased by that crazy Australian, but they don't seem left
USA Today their sports have gone from less college to more pro, not mush in that anymore except the entertainment section
NYT and WP I get these might lean left but who reads them anymore? Harder and harder to find either for local consumption
Daily Racing Form I don't get a political lean but still the best handicapping source
SOCIAL MEDIA
Don't do Facebook, MySpace, or AOL
Don't do Twitter as seems only Twits use it
Don't watch "reality shows" or "shopping channels"
TL : DR folks
So I have 5 min news segments on the hour on classical radio station, MSNBC, and 2 newspapers on the east coast? If this is all the "liberal media" has, are they even a pimple on an elephants arse, much less a credible threat to the US government or way of life?
What a remarkable wall of dumb and wrong. It's almost impressive.

Yes. We use a Roku for all of our TV. It's possible that it also works with other platforms, but I don't know that.

WTF? Name one pro Trump person or even a guests they have on?
Almost EVERY single show they have on is OP ED,host driven show that bashes Trump 24/7
You are absolutely bat shite crazy.

Hilarious,ABC,NBC,CBS,CNN and MSNBC have all been taken over by the far left and never Trumpers along with the NYT and WAPO.Talk radio is a drop in the bucket compared the audience reached by network TV.And don't forget all the left wing drivel peddled by Harvey Epstein and the rest of the pedophiles and degenerates in Hollywood.

MySpace, or AOL
Are you 80?
Google,FB and Twitter are all dominated by left wingers.

Lordy you live in a bubble insulated by left wing propaganda 24/7.Try this site occasionally newsbusters It might help with your perspective but I'm afraid you're beyond help.

Absolutely nothing wrong with that.
Do you consider yourself significantly to the left of the political spectrum? Or do you fancy yourself more of a moderate?

we need to enlarge the gene pool for leadership outside of just Harvard and Yale.
Trump was Fordham and Penn.
Reagan went to Eureka College. Jimmuh was Annapolis via Georgia Southwestern and Georgia Tech, then Union College for graduate.
Nixon was Whittier and Duke. LBJ was Texas State and Georgetown. Ike was West Point, CGSC, War College, etc. (
Hoover was Stanford. Coolidge was Amherst. Harding was Ohio Central. McKinley had a high school diploma (
So, this "every President must attend Harvard/Yale or both" didn't really start until the patrician Maine Bush family started us down that path.

I look at it a little differently. The New Republic and the WSJ are considered right leaning but I think they are as dangerous as all of the lefties you have mention because they are globalist rather than nationalist.
Ask yourself which outfits are globalist because once we have a one world government there will be no Bill of Rights or 2A and it will be off to the death camps we go.
