And for the life of me I don't understand why every Republican does not point out these stats and challenge the talking head hosts when they appear on their shows, be it on Sunday morning or any of the others - slam them hard and get outraged. Instead - they play nice nice and will always be playing catch up.

There isn't much payoff in that for politicians. The people who will respond positively are already on board. Rather than win over the undecideds, politicians who point out press bias get cut up by the media for complaining. They look after their own. Look at what happened to Nixon. Since then, politicians try not to focus on press bias but try to work around it.
