I don't think so.
In the old days, Uncle Walter (the most trusted man in America) could spew his socialist garbage for years and years and there was no one to challenge him.
Today, the leftist media is not getting away with nearly as much thanks to new media on the right. For example, this is a major reason they lost in WI. That loss wouldn't happened in the Dino era.
In the old days, you had CBS/NBC/ABC/PBS. You didn't have all of the cable channels. Or all of the lib web-site... Or all of the newspapers giving up any pretext of fairness
Back in the day, you never had a "news" channel that was openly supporting the Dem candidate. OPENLY doing so. Disgraceful.
Folks talk about FOX, and how they lead in # of viewers... They get about 3 million (on the high end) per night... If you factor the lib channels, ABC/NBC/ABC each night, the number of people that get their news from lefty organizations dwarfs our side. Not even close
