  1. All American news outlets have a bias and all of them, including Fox, are in bed with one political party or another. Reporters like Murrow and Cronkite had an easier time hiding their biases because of the role they played covering WWII. It also helped that the democratic party had a stranglehold on the American political system during the period mass-media exploded onto the scene. That was the lens through which the message was delivered it just became the norm. Media bias wasn't even an issue until politicians like Nixon started calling reporters out for their democratic favoritism. But for the most part the networks still covered national and world events in a straight up fashion. This allowed them to deflect the criticism of their political coverage by dismissing those who accused them of bias as sore losers and fringe paranoid types. Things really changed after Vietnam and Watergate. Reporters were no longer covering stories, they became part of them. It was, in many ways, a return to the days of Yellow Journalism. Then 24/7 cable came around and suddenly you had all kinds of air time to fill. TV journalists went from being reporters to being celebrities and they were all coming out of left-wing universities where they were encouraged to be activists first and reporters second. Now, it is more about who you know when it comes to landing these TV jobs. Look at how many news anchors and show hosts are second and third generation media types. Look at how many come from families with deep political roots. The internet has made them lazy to boot. That worm obama had running point on his nuclear treaty with Iran came right out and admitted that he took advantage of young reporters who lacked the skills and intellectual curiosity to properly fact check him. CBS, NBC, and ABC are now the propaganda arm for the democratic party. CNN may have started with the intention of being a straight news outlet but they figured out they would do better if they got on on team or the other. MSNBC was always intended to assume the role of DNC mouthpiece. Papers like the NY Times are so far gone they are never coming back. They count on the money they get pimping the left-wing narrative. I get a kick out of the fact they all freak out because the republicans have one network that leans their way. But even Fox has gone mainstream to the point where they have given up their claim as the network for conservatives. They have run fluff pieces promoting transgender mutilation of children using that bush hack dana perino to put some kind of sweetness and light spin on that evil practice. How much air time does Fox give actual conservative commentators like Steve Deace, Delano Squires, or Daniel Horowitz? How many invites to CPAC do those guys get? There are a few brave independent reporters like Andy Ngo out there but how much air time does he get anywhere? Wanna know what happened to America Will? Colonel Jessup told us: We couldn't handle truth.
