    I don’t think it’s a “to much material” issue. It’s 100% not wanting to be seen as bias/political by people that argue and conduct everything they do in bad faith. It’s about chasing profits from an audience they aren’t going to get, because they are trying to sell facts to a cult that has been conditioned to discard them outright with no critical thinking involved, just blind deference to Dear Leader. And giving the press a pass is why we got Trump the first time, and certainly looks like will be a factor this time around as well.

    If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, call it a duck instead of “it might be a duck” or “some people believe it may be a duck”. The media is suppose to report what they see/hear, not play favorites or white wash things to placate a section of the country that has gone off the rails. Congress also needs to bring back some type of legislation prohibiting the types of Murdock “reporting” that serves only to muddy the water and/or throw shit at the wall for profit.
