But there are a lot of left wing looney toons, and their domination of the media magnifies their power.
Trump triumphed against them. But it was a close thing and so far we have no reason to believe it was not a fluke.
Agreed on "left wing looney toons". As for the media, First Amendment supporters know they aren't the demon some want them to be. Sure, all journalists are "liberal arts" majors and most lean left, but they work for businesses and most business owners lean right. Not all, but most. As a business, they sell what sells, which is why, once Ted Turner ran his little tv station up to a satellite, he opened up an entire new world of business.
The problem isn't at MSNBC or the NYT lean left, but that Americans have so many choices in their media, they pick and choose only those sources that reinforce their own ideology. The result is the Left gets Leftier and the Right gets Rightier. For over 20 years, our elected representatives have become more partisan and less willing to reach across the aisle. In this toxic environment even Ronald Reagan would be called a RINO since he was willing to talk to Democrats.
