What a way to save time and money.

The media is definitely leans way left, and that is a problem when there is no news. The one thing that overrides that bias is a desire to "make" a story.

Black man attacks cop, grabs for cop's gun, gets killed doesn't make for a big story. Unarmed black teenager gunned down by white cop in poor black area makes for a bigger story, then they get to cover the riots to follow.

Every once in a while you see a story where the press can't avoid the feeding frenzy and goes after a liberal. Doesn't happen often, but it happens.

That was proven with the DNC emails, that the media forwards all stories to the DNC (When in pertains to democrats) to be proof written and edited and then sent back for publication

Which means over half of the population is clueless.

Can you say, “President Clinton, children?”
