You are quite correct. The media is no different now than they were back then.

And who has the money that the media follows other than misguided rich globalists and their crony lawmaking friends who stuff their pockets with unconstitutional federal taxes, taxes that Congress cannot justify under its constitutional, Article I, Section 8-limited powers?
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
Nancy Pelosi on Smear Tactics (1:13 min.)
Send "Orange Man Bad" federal and state government Democrats and RINOs home in November!
Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping SARS-CoV-2 will effectively give fast-working Trump a third term in office imo.
"The “Holy Grail” of organized crime is to control government power to tax." —me
"The power to tax involves the power to destroy, [...]” —Chief Justice John Marshall, McCulloch v. Maryland, 1819.
"The 16th Amendment effectively repealed the involuntary servitude aspect of the 13th Amendment imo, evidenced by unconstitutional federal taxes." —me
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"13th Amendment, Section 1:
Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude [emphasis added], except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."
"16th Amendment:
The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."
"It’s politically correct, under the Democratic Party and its tyrant judges, to use your voting power to make your fellow citizens involuntary servants." —me
"The ill-conceived 17th Amendment not only effectively politically repealed the 3/4 state supermajority requirement of the Constitution’s Article V for ratification of proposed amendments to the Constitution imo, politically correct interpretations of the Constitution now prevailing under Democratic judicial tyranny, but also consider this. That amendment also effectively nullified Congress’s constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers along with the Supreme Court’s clarification of Congress’s limited power to appropriate taxes." —me
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"The constitutionally undefined political parties are basically rival, corrupt voter unions, “union dues” paid by means of unconstitutional federal taxes. Belonging to a political party means that you are a subject, not a member.” —me
"Patriots need to support PDJT in demanding that Congress moves "April 15" tax day to the day before election day." —me
"The smart crooks long ago figured out that getting themselves elected to federal office to make unconstitutional tax laws to fill their pockets is a much easier way to make a living than robbing banks." —me
"Federal career lawmakers probably laugh all the way to the bank to deposit bribes for putting loopholes for the rich and corporations in tax appropriations laws, Congress actually not having the express constitutional authority to make most appropriations laws where domestic policy is concerned. Such laws are based on stolen state powers and uniquely associated stolen state revenues." —me
Still calling them liberals shows me he’s in denial. They’re rabid f-ing leftists.
Media bias has always been there. The difference between Trump and prior Republican administrations is that he basically declared war on the media January 21, 2017 and it’s continued ever since. So when they hit him, he hits back and vice versa.

You are quite correct. The media is no different now than they were back then.
It matters little whether or not there were meetings held and actual orders given on screwing Republicans.
If you look around and hear what they say, see who gets published, promoted, accepted, and who gets ostracized, ignored, or let go, whether or not actual "orders" were given is irrelevant.
The "correct" mission of your job as a journalist at that paper or newsroom is crystal clear at that point.
It’s not only group think... There is actually a blacklist for conservatives in entertainment and media.

Finally someone mentions the key word in everything that has gone wrong for the past 3 years.... RESISTANCE.
The Dems/Media have stood in the way of progress by their own admission. In fact, they have considerably weakened American interests are home and abroad. That has probably always been the goal and I err in considering them Americans.
I disagree completely, the big corporate players don't care one bit if their "news" division always looses money. That's not what this is about otherwise how do you explain CNN and all the others with bottom basement TV and cable news ratings.
Its not about money, big corporate already has plenty of cash, its all about using that cash to enhance their power.
Its just like the old days when every billionaire owned a host of news papers.
But now there are a bunch of new players in town, platforms such as Face Book, Twitter, Google etc. They are not corporations seeking to buy and influence media, they are the media. If the GOP does not find a way to level the playing soon I fear we may never be competitive again.
Goldberg has been a good guy on the whole. He’s a leftist, pulls lots of punches, and made a bunch of money doing it. But at least he addresses it.
That’s because most of them are Commies.
The legacy media is dead. The new media of the left also needs to die.
There are still lots of mindless people who repeat the talking points on MSM. They are parrots, with little common sense, if any. It keeps everything divided almost 50/50. In that way, both parties are forced to spend millions on political ads.
I became very suspicious of the news media during my high school years, but the process started when I was in Junior High.
At one time when someone talked about “bias” well it wasn’t important because I could tune into Fox and get some not-so-leftwinged news. I can’t say that anymore — Fox is turning left pretty fast and I don’t know how fast this turn will happen but it is happening.
Hadn’t thought of that book in years. It was one of the first SF novels I read and one of my favorites for many years.
