They get a huge share of the blame for sure. Especially when some admit they take their marching orders from the Democrats. They don't report much if any negative news re the Democrats, at least on anything that can hurt them, and amplify and repeat over and over anything that can hurt the Republicans. That is wrong, evil, destructive, and not at all a free press.
I do not discount for one second that Trump speaks in terms as if he is still doing the Apprentice. And he blunders all by himself. But would posters take aim at President Kennedy for his blunders to be honest and those by FDR. We would wonder why Democrats lie by saying the two parties changed opinions on race. That lie hits us in the gut as a major lie.
Back when I delivered papers for first the Daily Review of Hayward, CA and later for the Oakland Tribune a larger paper, as a lad the papers seemed to me to be honest. I was then a Democrat kid. I heard politics from mother. Dad was not the kind to worry about politics. He was pleased to run Construction jobs. And hire me as his kid later when I lost a job working at the phone company.
As time has passed, and Truman died, FDR had died when I was young, and then it was Johnson and Nixon after Kennedy of course, I saw the changes to the media as they happened.
It is a stretch of the truth to claim I recall well the politics of the early eras real well, but I lived in CA and at the time the state was run by Republicans. And we were doing very well under Republicans.
I happened to be a delivery boy for papers i actually read at the time. It was that I credit for my desire to know the news.
A major shift happened under Carter. I voted for him yet turned against him to elect Reagan.
But more. I forced myself to start reading tons of books on Government. I learned all about history of governments way back to the old days of China. I dived into Alexander the Great and now know what he did. I dived into the decline and fall of the Roman Empire and know about the Romans. It prepared me to really deep dive into our own government. What did the Founders do and why? Were they educated founders? Just how well educated in truth were the Founders. I learned that every Founder was a very well educated human and respected by the other Founders. The cream of the crop as said at times.
It gave me a basis to analyze this Government. I mean ours including the 1800s and the 1900s and even now. I learned how I had chosen to vote for democrats for all the wrong reasons. I decided to change to vote for Reagan and am happy for this.
The media has changed hands since I delivered papers. We now have almost a total ownership by Democrats. Even the TV news favors Democrats. While this should speak well of Democrats, in truth it damns the Democrats in my opinion. They are god damned authoritarians. I do not forgive them for trying to restrict human freedom in America.
What holds me up is knowing that all Dictatorships on this planet also had public approval by the dumb shits.
