Gotta love the American media 1

First off, I apologize in advance because I know how a lot of you loathe political threads.
So I guess Trump & Hillary shared the stage and had a debate of sorts tonight in front of an audience mainly comprised of veterans.
I flipped by both MSNBC & Fox News to catch a little bit of what they were saying.
And what a shocker -- Fox says that Trump was outstanding and that Hillary was terrible. Meanwhile MSNBC says that Hillary was outstanding and Trump was terrible, lol.
Has the media always been this blatantly biased? I mean like going back several decades...was it this bad then too?

Crystal G says they have no bias, that they can only publish/air the truth, it's an unwritten rule
so yes, they have always been that biased

It's just so funny (and sad, depending on which angle you're looking at it from) that our political parties are, for the most part, so incapable of thinking on their own, that they have to resort to multi-billion dollar "news" organizations spoon feed them what to think.

It's not so much about spoon feeding people opinions, but giving them positive confirmation bias to sedate them through their commercials.
