Richard Grenell, the former Acting Director of National Intelligence, says the Washington media are not just in bed with Democrats.
They're not just covering for Democrats.
They're not just using Democrat talking points.
They're actually "shilling" for them.
He wrote recently at the American Center for Law and Justice, with which he now is affiliated, that the mainstream media are facing a "growing list of news stories" about the 2020 election that members got wrong.
Significantly, he said, "The series of erroneous stories not only consistently helped Joe Biden’s campaign or covered up Biden’s mistakes but they also criticized Trump’s leadership at the same time. It is clear that the D.C. media is openly helping Joe Biden and always looking to criticize Donald Trump.
"But the breadth and depth of the constant media protection of progressive politicians can no longer be dismissed as simply media bias. To suggest that reporters just have an innate world view that slants their stories to the Left because of their personal perspective and experiences is too generous of an excuse. The issue at play is much more serious than reporters in Washington, D.C., merely looking to protect the ruling Democrat Party. There are too many reporters and editors who are always helping one political party win elections and push their agenda," he said.
He said, "If the media mistakes made over and over again were problems for both Democrats and Republicans, then we may be able to chalk them up to media bias or unplanned errors. But even when faced with facts proving their stories false, the partisan reporters refuse to correct the record. Clearly, something more sinister is happening."

The MSM is ~85% Democrat.
Hollywood is Democrat.
The educational (K-12 and colleges) field is Democrat.
It is hard to be heard as a conservative, and when you are being talked about, it is all distorted, paraphrased and spun to sound bad somehow.
But one thing was proven in the last elections, even the Internet and social media is massively controlled by only a handful of players. When Trump decided to press on China he lost Big Tech because after all, China is where everything is made, or it’s a big market we export too.
“The MSM is ~85% Democrat.” According to Public Records of Political Donations by members of the MSM the actual number is 95%.
Trump didn’t lose “Big Tech”. He never had it.
This is all coming from China. China owns these media giants and all their home mortgages, too. This was before Trump.
China owns the manufacturing of the “Big Tech” systems, too.
The crazy Left, here, were dumb enough to embrace Muslim terrorism, when they thought it could get them power, and now they’re stupid enough to hand the country over to China, if they think it will get them the same thing. China is a little bigger than some hot-headed goat-...pers, and now the destruction of America is on the line.
Clearly sinister at the very least.
These companies need to be fined for their illegal payment-in-kind campaign contributions.
The Democratic Party is a criminal enterprise.
The mass media are co-conspirators.
The fairness doctrine of the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC), introduced in 1949, was a policy that required the holders of broadcast licenses both to present controversial issues of public importance and to do so in a manner that was honest, equitable, and balanced. The FCC eliminated the policy in 1987 and removed the rule that implemented the policy from the Federal Register in August 2011.[1]
*************************************************************
Aggressively enforced, the Fairness Doctrine would HELP America recover a degree or two of “Fair and Balanced” news coverage.
I’m glad Grennel was able to figure this out.
In other news - the sky is blue and the grass is green.
The headline is inaccurate. The media wing of the Democrat party is not facing troubling times. They are not troubled by their lies and they are not facing any adverse consequences for their lies.
The problem is, THEY would the ones deciding what is "fair and balanced" and "aggressively enforcing" it.
Peruse later.
With facts proving their stories false, the partisan reporters refuse to correct the record.
Liars never admit to their lies the just make bigger ones it’s how cover ups work it helps their agenda.
Good point! In fact “bullseye!” and that is the mountain we have to climb if we are going to cure this disease called “leftist media”.............somehow.
My suggestion is “let the lawyers enforce it”. Meaning, for example, if one of the alphabets devotes 400 minutes to a hot political issue like say the current CRT one but all 400 minutes were vigorously in support of CRT and ZERO minutes were devoted to opposing views (which happens all the time) then that media company could be sued for up to a billion dollars for any such violation and the lawyers get one third! The “taxpayers” get the remaining 2/3 but it has to be applied to the national debt EXCEPT for China. We should never pay them a dime...for a lot of reasons to digit consuming to go into.
Fear of that would balance up media companies over night and not cost the taxpayer a dime for enforcement.
