Media bias, an update
https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/...-spotlight
Author of a 2001 book says now there is a conspiracy.

"...CBS’s Dan Rather never went into a room with top lieutenants, locked the door, lowered the blinds, dimmed the lights and said, “OK, how are we going to screw those Republicans today?”

It didn’t work that way, I said. Instead, bias was the result of groupthink. Put too many like-minded liberals in a newsroom and you’re going to get a liberal slant on the news.


Liberal journalists, I said, live in a comfortable liberal bubble and don’t even necessarily believe their views are liberal. Instead, they believe they are moderate, mainstream and mainly reasonable views — unlike, of course, conservative views which, to them, are none of those things....

In the age of Trump, the media no longer try to hide biases; they embrace them. The so-called mainstream media have joined “The Resistance.” And the worst part is that they’re not troubled by it.

Do journalists actually go into dark rooms and conspire to bring down the president? I have no idea if the room is dark or not."

<The groupthink is a reason to force the over the air media to get out of NYC in order to keep their licenses-it is a disservice to the country to have NYC groupthink with all the 4 major TV networks>
