SANITIZING everything possible for THEIR CANDIDATE.

[enumerated]

Corporate Media isn’t cheating on behalf of Democrat politicians or doing their bidding. It’s just as much the other way around - they are both on the same “team”.

The way I see it, the two teams are liberty vs tyranny. Putting aside all the policy issues relating to peace and prosperity or lack thereof - there is the over-arching issue of who will have the authority - the State or We the People.

Over the last 100 years, the State was allowed to grow too big and powerful and has taken control of all our institutions - including both political parties, the courts, education AND corporate media.

President Trump’s MAGA movement is a populist movement that aims to restore power to We The People - that makes all those who hold the power right now our enemy.

The Media is not working for the enemy - they ARE the enemy.

They’re a bunch brown nosed geldings.

The second part of the video showing Dem. Rep. Lawrence McDonald (RIP) is also worth watching.

The MSM is the media arm of the demsheviks. THey’re implicated criminally in many ways.

The title of the article, “Why Do Media Think Democrats Are Worth Cheating For?” is a leading question. The Propaganda Media and the Democrats are the same thing.

Yes, exactly. The major media and the Democrats are both part of the same team, just subsidiaries of the globalists. This is the kind of headline meant to mislead people using misdirection: appear to be criticizing the media when you're actually covering for their true nature.

These agreements were reached on calls that the Trump campaign was not a part of although all discussions regarding the rules and negotiations were supposed to include both sides.

Proof right there that they cheated and rigged the event for Kommie'la.

Many in the Media Industrial Complex have held government jobs under Democrats. Their Media jobs are a reward for job well done.

It’s tribalism. They picked their side and decided the other side was horrible beyond words. The Democrats don’t actually have to do much to please those in the media. If they don’t get anything done, it’s because of the Republicans. If they do they are “consequential” and significant. For the media the Dems will always be the good guys.

DiogenesLamp: "It's about money.
It always was about money.
It was never about anything else *OTHER* than money."

Sure, I understand, that's your ax, pretty much your only ax and you're going grind it until the cows come home.

Fortunately life, culture, values and society are "all about" far more than just money.
For better or worse, humans are often motivated by other interests, including:

1. ideology
2. class, ethnic or tribal loyalties
3. family history -- often we vote as our parents did.
4. fear of a malevolent "other" -- i.e., communists, capitalists, MAGA-ists, take your pick.
5. sympathies for others mistreated or oppressed.
6. loyalties to our church, civic organization, local community, state and/or nation.

Money is in the mix, of course, but seldom the only factor and sometimes people will act against their best interests in money in order to advance a worthy cause.

Of course, the corporate world is normally driven by money, however, even they can sometimes act against their best money interests in support of some perceived "worthy cause".
For examples, in recent years some corporations appear to have been driven into mass hysteria by non-monetary concepts and metrics like:

1. "Woke"
2. DEI -- Diversity Equity & Inclusion
3. CSR -- Corporate Social Responsibility
4. ESG -- Environmental Social & Governance score
5. SROI -- Social Return on Investment
6. EPI -- Environmental Performance Index
7. HDI -- Human Development Index
8. TBL -- Triple Bottom Line (People, Planet, Profits)
9. SRI -- Social Responsibility Investing, aka Impact Investing
10. IRIS -- Impact Reporting and Investment Standards
11. Balanced Scorecard -- TBL metrics reporting
12. Corporate Citizenship -- charities, volunteers, community service
13. Sustainability -- Environmental, Social & Economic

As we've seen now several times, the individual and cumulative effects of such non-monetary metrics can drive corporations to forget and neglect their core missions while joining the mass colony of lemmings scampering towards the nearest sea of red ink.
