However, all major journalism outlets are members of the Associated Press.

This does not go far enough. The vast bulk of our broadcast news comes from Media agencies located in New York City. This area is one of the most heavily biased portions of the country, and it serves as the foundation for their hiring pool.

In addition, everyone in the "news" media is a member of a Union, and the Unions are already heavily affiliated with Democrats.

The "media" has created and maintains a monopoly of opinion that is unavoidably skewed to the left, because among other things, they don't hire people who have contradictory opinions.

There are several other reasons why the existing media is unavoidably leftest in perspective and therefore deliberately biased against conservatives, but to mention them would diffuse the focus on the ones I mentioned above.

The fact remains, we will not repair this nation until we get equal time on the broadcast systems. We cannot fix anything until we end Liberal censorship of facts damaging to liberal ideas.

. . . and we cannot justify equal time for conservatives when the argument is framed as “equal time between conservatives and objective journalists.” That is an obvious loser, and it is not what we are demanding. We demand equal time between traditional advocates of freedom (i.e., philosophers in the etymological sense who do not claim a monopoly on wisdom but who do insist on the reality of truth), on one hand, and cynical demagogues on the other. It actually is a reprise of the contest between philosophers and sophists. The sophists claimed to be wise, the philosophers did not make that claim but insisted on facts and logic rather than appeals to authority.
