The media has always been a political force in this country.
The 1st Amendment's freedom of the press is there to protect opinion more than to protect reporting the news.
Get over it.
I wonder if they even remember that ben franklin started his newspaper to convince people of the correctness of his political views.
just saying.
no doubt those lovely "constitutionalists" would limit every right except for the 2nd amendment if they could.
Prove your statement with a link please. Just your saying so doesn't make it so!
You deny that newspapers have always contained plenty of editorial content?
lol good one.

Editorial pages contain Opinions and they identify as such!
Which is different though the HEADLINES which are to be journalistically neutral not biased.
But that's been my whole point. Commentators like Rush/ Hannity are NOT journalists.
YET Bob Schieffer who WE ALL KNOW as a "Newsman" said it best when he unknowingly proved the BIAS of the MSM!!!
Bob Schieffer is retiring, with Sunday's "Face The Nation"
"
We now don’t know where people get their news, but what we do know is they’re bombarded with information 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Most of the information is wrong and some of it is wrong on purpose.
It is our job, I think, in mainstream journalism to try to cut through this mall of information and tell people what we think is relevant and what they need to know.
That is the job of the journalist and I have to say it’s harder and harder."
Stunning Admission By Retiring MSM Journalist - States MSM Should Decide Relevancy Of News And Determine What People "Need To Know," Laments The "Revolution Of Communications"
NOW do you understand why I am bitching and griping about the MSM??? THEY believe today NOT when I was in journalism school in the 60s that
THEIR JOB is to EDUCATE you! They know better! They are the intellectually elite! And this is so bogus!
Their job as a journalist is NOT to be subjective! NOT to cull news they think WE should read and hear.
But almost all the MSM really believes like Obama that they are superior intellectually then us in the "fly over country".
Well Schieffer and his ilk are so out of touch! What he said was the reason for the losing of the war in Vietnam and in Iraq.
They presented the positions THEY thought were the right ones. The body counts. The images. The constant barrage of Americans do all the wrong things
in Vietnam and Iraq! This was the MSM objective!
As I've stated I was in journalism in the 60s in college and some of the same people that were members of the SDS/Weathermen were also in my journalism
classes! They later became the editors/producers of MSM and this hatred of the USA fomented in the 60s by the likes of Obama's buds Bill Ayers, etc.
has been the purpose of the now existing editors/producers of headlines and evening news.
Hatred of America. Show every way possible how bad our country is. Nightly badgering of Abu Ghraib which was done by 11 people! Even though
there were hundreds of thousands of troops in Iraq... what did we see/read nightly? Abu Ghraib and those images.
What was the purpose?
The same thing in Vietnam. These disgusting MSM editors/publishers are so well illustrated by this well known editor's totally biased comments!
One of those MSM biased editors, of NewsWeek supposedly a "professional journalist" takes a position regarding his "job".
The Editor of NewsWeek who once was asked about Bush:
"our job is to bash the president[Bush], that's what we do." Evan Thomas responding to a question on whether the media's unfair to Bush on the TV talk show Inside Washington, February 2, 2007.
He-Could-Go-All-The-Way: 'Today' Cheers Obama's Football Play
RIGHT HIS job was to BASH Bush...
But when it came to Obama???
This same hard-nosed "bashing journalist- Editor of NewsWeek gushed about Obama.....
"I mean in a way Obama’s standing above the country, above – above the world, he’s sort of God."
Newsweek’s Evan Thomas: Obama Is ‘Sort of God’
A professional NEWS editor calling a mortal man "sort of God"??? That's not reporting, that's gushing!
