CNN, NBC, MSNBC journalists say Republicans can't be covered equally with Democrats
[FOXNEWS] Figures on liberal media networks CNN
...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for...
, NBC and MSNBC have pushed the narrative that Republicans do not deserve equal coverage alongside their Democratic counterparts, often claiming Republicans stand for anti-Democratic values and are more likely to push falsehoods.

On MSNBC's "The ReidOut" Monday night, Joy Reid and her guest, left-wing political analyst Mathew Dowd, suggested the media were too neutral in their reporting on the Republican Party, and thus needed to ramp up the hostility. She added that both sides were "not the same," and also urged fellow news hounds to "tell voters" the GOP was a "threat" to freedom.

She wondered to Dowd how the media could "get out" of this "’both sides’ trajectory," to which he advised the media to act as though they were living in a society that wasn't free and treat Republicans accordingly.

Just a week earlier, CNN primetime host Don Lemon also shot down the idea Republicans and Democrats should be afforded equal footing in media coverage. Lemon called the freedom to "state [his] truth" and stand up for his viewpoints "imperative," noting that journalists no longer live in a "Walter Cronkite society."

#1 Theory (no proof, just backroom deal making Theory). Could it be, that the DNC allocates x-$$$Millions to Dem campaigns, the campaigns cant pay CNN, NBC, MSNBC directly for positive coverage over Republican opponents, but they would slide big bucks under the table to key journalists/executives???

#2 They're not journalists, they are open political operatives for the Democrats. They are the enemy of the people.

#3 Common idea now is to avoid all media. If you want to be happy in this world don't watch TV, read the news and to update stay off the internet.

#4 @Dale I agree. But the most recent problem is that the BS has bleed into advertising, sports broadcasts…. Anywhere there is a captive audience.

#5 Several decades of language and cultural barriers are coming down. Hollywood has enabled television advertising to come of age.

I credit the late Barbra Billingsly.
