You are so right.
The sad thing is that they have changed what their job is.
It used to be reporting the news, even with a bias, that was their job.
But it has become shilling for the dems. That is now Job One for the lamestreams.
THE DEMOCRAT WAY
Blacks started out reporting acts they believed were true acts of racism against blacks.
When there weren't enough genuine acts of racism they began manufacturing them by leaving racist notes, making false charges of white on black rape,
burning fake KKK crosses in their own yards, and setting fire to their own black churches.
Homosexuals started out by reporting acts they viewed as discrimination against homosexuals.
When there weren't enough genuine acts of discrimination to make their case they took a lesson from blacks.
The resorted to creating situations they could take offense with (bakeries, photographers) and/or just manufactured false flag events out of thin air.
When muslims first learned they could intimidate Americans with charges of anti-muslim bias they just bypassed any pretense of honesty.
Instead of waiting for genuine acts of bias to occur they just went directly to creating acts of discrimination out of whole cloth (clock boy).
When the Mainstream leftist news media couldn't find enough anti-conservative, anti republican, anti-Trump news they just started making news up.
By their standards it worked so well that they have pretty much abandoned any pretense of reporting real news.
Fake News fits their narrative much better and they always have the exact story the need for the moment.
