I think it is time for those of us at Freerepublic to understand the challenge:

The Media has the power to win elections for the Left. Those in the MSM will be more emboldened than ever before.

The Internet is not an equal alternative to existing media. It does not reach viewers and listeners the same way; the MSM uses
quick messages and headlines to influence its audience.

We must be aware of the MSM and what it does; putting our heads in the sand on FR will not suffice. We must accept the MSM for what it is: A powerful adversary.

We must challenge the MSM. We must take them to task. We must push for fairness and truth. Ignoring the MSM gets us more of the same.

Remember, if the MSM was fair, we'd never lose an election.

I understand where you're coming from, but if the MSM were fair, we would lose elections, occasionally at least, to an opposition party with integrity. That's because if the MSM were fair, it would hold all political parties to account. The reason the democrats are so much more corrupt than the Republicans is because the media has given them a pass on almost everything. They can get away with almost anything, so they do.

This is more important than ever. They have free reign right now.
