Personally, not that it’s worth anything, but I have much much less respect for those who aren’t leftists but still allow the msm to form their opinions on important matters.

The degenerate liars only exist in such numbers in that industry because too many people just cant be bothered to think things through on their own.

Is that it, or has Joe & Jane Six-pack just trusted the MSM for so long, since the days of Edward R. Murrow and Walter Cronkite, that they honestly believe the drivel they are spoon fed each evening is real news?.........

I’m refering mostly to those who do know and understand the bias in the msm and resent it, but still allow themselves to be beaten down onto their knees to suck off the spigot of enemy propaganda concerning this war, for example.

No, they exist in those numbers because people allow themselves to support them despite the bias. Several hundred dollars a year for a subcription plus a like amount of value in advertising exposure comes from every conservative who subscribes. Until ALL OF THEM cancel their subscriptions, there will be little reason for them to change.

The MSM is a Marketing conglomerate consisting of several outlets in Print, Radio and Television.

The MSM has created a marketing campaign whereby they costume dress as journalists executing ad campaigns designed to sell their DNC client’s product - socialism to the American People.

In reality, there is no BIAS in the MSM. The marketing industry charters client loyalty to shape public opinion in favor of their client and against client competitors.
