"If the Media was fair, we’d never lose an election."

Yes, absolutely. And fair means honest.

One of the most dangerous and ignominious events in United States history has been the decision of the U.S. newsmedia, its producers, and its "journalists" to produce propaganda and not to inform the American people truthfully.

They adopted the infamous policies of Josef Goebbels, Director of Propaganda for Nazi Germany:

“News should be given out for instruction rather than information.”
~Josef Goebbels~

“If you tell a lie long enough, it becomes the truth.”
~Josef Goebbels~

The American people ignore and allow this mendacity at their peril--and at the peril of liberty and justice--and at the peril of the people of the world.

I think you misquoted Goebbels- I believe that he said “If you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes bigger than the truth.” That’s an important distinction; I know many many postmodernists who quite literally believe that a lie actually becomes truth.
