The Watergate Theory of the MSM:

Pre-Watergate the media was ant-conservative but kept it under the radar most of the time. Walter Cronkite throwing in the towel on Vietnam being an example of blatant left wing propaganda coming out. Watergate changed everything. Post Watergate the media became hostile and anti government as long as that government was conservative or republican. They became an open left wing propaganda machine and will NOT touch a democrat regime, actually they will PROTECT it.

Speak to any former employee of your local paper or TV station. The same dynamic plays out there with local pols/’celebrities’.

The media is and has long been like any other wing of the Dems. Self serving, power hungry and agenda driven. The only way to break the cycle is the Dems have to move right. And you KNOW that ain’t happening.

Media outlets will run themselves bankrupt before giving up the agenda. How is that self serving when many reporters end up unemployed?

1: Most reporters are told and believe it’s for the greater good of liberalism.
2: The owners do not lose personal money. But they gain power for the sacrifice. And are usually promoted to some political position.

And since it’s the shareholders taking the financial hit, no biggie.

I worked in media. That’s the way the game is played.
