The mainstream media, long a house organ for Democrats...

"Organ" I'll buy, "long" seems unduly complimentary.

Exactly.

An MIT professor said this - good place for a TV News reporters to start:

“Global warming, climate change, all these things are just a dream come true for politicians. The opportunities for taxation, for policies, for control, for crony capitalism are just immense, you can see their eyes bulge,” he says.

"It is beyond my comprehension that you have ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox, that their Sunday shows have discussed climate change in 2012, collectively, for all of eight minutes," Sanders said, citing analysis by the leftist George Soros-linked Media Matters for America, which promotes media bias while claiming to fight it.

Well Bernie, other than FOX, 8 minutes is 4 times longer than the rest discussed about Benghazi.

Eight minutes too mant.

I agree and have no confidence in the media's intent to report without bias or factually.

Given the financially-driven amputation of any kind of real news-gathering and fact-checking activities (courtesy of network-flipper Larry Tisch, who gutted CBS News), they are almost all down to reliance on Obama Regime press-release handouts for material.

Five or six years ago, CNN began hiring foreign journalists as in-country CNN stringers, to cushion the winnowing-out of their own correspondents. Wanna guess how well that works in, say, China? Where everyone's day job is to play along with the secret police?
