Yup, only uniparty media for a very long time.

. . . or, as I prefer to put it, journalism’s imposture of objectivity is, was, and always will be fraudulent. Which anyone with realizing sense should understand - when it is pointed out to them.The wisest and most cautious of us all frequently gives credit to stories which he himself is afterwards both ashamed and astonished that he could possibly think of believing.I find it difficult to disbelieve any of those Adam Smith quotes. They mesh with the ancient Greek experience that people (“Sophists”) who claim to be wise typically make tendentious arguments. The term “Philosopher” meant “lover of wisdom,” and applied to someone who eschewed claims of superior wisdom in favor of openness to going where the facts and logic of any case lead.. . . It is acquired wisdom and experience only that teach incredulity, and they very seldom teach it enough.
. . . The natural disposition is always to believe.
. . . The man whom we believe is necessarily, in the things concerning which we believe him, our leader and director, and we look up to him with a certain degree of esteem and respect. But as from admiring other people we come to wish to be admired ourselves; so from being led and directed by other people we learn to wish to become ourselves leaders and directors . . .
The desire of being believed, the desire of persuading, of leading and directing other people, seems to be one of the strongest of all our natural desires. - Adam Smith, Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759)
The problem of a “uniparty media” arises from the ideological monopoly produced by the Associated Press. Which, as it turns out, is no longer American but is controlled by Saudi Arabia.
