“It is called conspiracy.”
As good revolutionaries, they are furthering the revolution and therefore not committing fraud.
Some might call it conspiracy but the delusion of the left is that conspiracy is not conspiracy but a healthy activity that is completely moral which makes the destruction of the Republic its aim and not illegal, immoral or wrong.
The Constitution is the target and they are hiding behind whatever they can to subvert it and then make it irrelevant.
IMHO
Yeah he lost me cause first he wrote this:
“Under President Obama we had the eight worst GDP (Gross Domestic Product) years in the history of America. Our GDP was under 3% for all eight years of Obama. That’s never happened since the day our country was founded in 1776.”
And that is why they do not do it. In the last two years I have come to regard the media as a tool of behind the scenes interests who's bread is buttered by government spending.
Of course they are going to order their minions to produce stories that help keeps the party of Government spending in power. The people who literally own the media get much of their income from liberal government policy.
You ask "why?" Might I suggest that it is because the owners of the media make a lot of money and wield a lot of power as a result of Liberal government policies?
Think "Solyndra", but much bigger.
I've been saying this since 1992 when I watched them throw the election to Bill Bastard Clinton.
I have an even simpler explanation. The mostly New York based "news" organizations promote policies that enrich the people who own those companies.
The media pushes a liberal slant on everything and censor stories beneficial to conservatives because whomever owns these media companies, benefits greatly from Liberal policies in Government.(especially liberal spending policies)
They therefore work to help liberal people get elected so that liberal policies will keep the Government money spigot flowing.
Why did the scorpion sting the frog?
Good idea.
You think I was disagreeing with you?
My why? was a rhetorical question that I immediately answered; without your money-to-be-made extension.

No, I didn't think you were disagreeing. I just took your "why" as an opportunity for me to wax rhetorical.
Just enthusiasm for the topic, I meant nothing directed at you personally.
Who knew lying could be so profitable?
When they finally DO indict Shrillary for all/some of her crimes, Georgie Stephanopolus better be put on suicide watch....he is devoted to her. God Bless Judicial Watch- they have kept after Shrillary.
And Wolf Blitzer also. Of course, CNN is one of the fronts for the CIA, so that could be why Blitzer is that way.
I would take away their broadcast licenses.

That is NOT as simpler explanation, rather, it assumes that all newspaper owners and broadcasters have taken the trouble to invest, secretly, in companies that profit from “liberal” spending policies.My explanation is that the very business model of the newspaper itself depends on cynicism towards society. I don’t have to assume that the owner of that newspaper has any other business interest apart from the newspaper. I don’t actually have to assume that the owner himself is a “liberal.” He could be a conservative who sincerely objects to “bias in the media” - provided only that he accepts that “the news” as such is what journalists normally report. That is, bad news almost exclusively. Once concede that the only thing that matters to your business is bad news - while claiming that your newspaper is objective - and your conservative newspaper owner can write conservative editorials ’til the cows come home, and still be operating a “liberal” propaganda organization.
In the old days before the AP, newspapers were idiosyncratic - each newspaper was about it’s printer’s opinion. Therefore you wouldn’t want a steady diet of a newspaper whose printer’s politics were anathema to you - but not all newspapers were owned by printers of a single ideology. Now, under the AP paradigm, that is swept away and newspapers are different beasts. In the old days most newspapers were weekly, and some didn’t even have a deadline at all. Now a “real newspaper" prints daily because "the wire” gives an unlimited supply of bad news to report, on the one hand, and OTOH that “wire” is too expensive to be able to afford to pay for it and not use it daily.
So why then did they censor bad news under the Obama administration?
Besides, I wasn't really talking about Newspapers. I was talking about organizations with hundreds of millions of viewers per week. The Broadcasting television system.
It’s because their heros did the same for Uncle adolph and Grampy Lenin.
Yes, the media is pulling the strings of this country’s idiots. The “fear and panic” thing has done it’s work. Hopefully, T will get it under control.
I did not say that newspapers or broadcasters are in fact owned by conservatives, I asserted that the very business model of journalism is a fit for “Liberalism.” So much so that you would have to be self-consciously conservative to make the slightest dent in the milieu in which you are operating.In reality that inherent bias due to the business model has, long since, purged all conservatives from the business. So you have people who are looking for bad news about society, not about government. Bad news about government is an occasion only for more government, certainly not for deregulation.
The AP (and all wire services) homogenizes journalism. So the political perspective which aligns best with the business model which best makes journalism commercially successful is promoted - and any contrary model runs into journalism’s antibodies. Gets rejected as “not objective, not a journalist.”
