Most media people are registered Democrats..proven
In any campaign, the number of negative stories about the GOP candidate outnumber the DNC one...proven
In every poll, voters recognize that the media is supportive of the Democrats....proven.

Cass Sustein? It’s pretty hard to find someone who is more far-left than ol’ Cass.

The media isn’t biased toward the Democratic Party. They *are* the Democratic Party.

They aren’t biased toward the left, they *are* the left.

The excerpt is enough to convince me not to click the link.

I’ll say it again - these people aren’t worth the breath it takes to refute their lunatic prattling.

Anyone who claims media bias is biased against the media.
