Left-Wing Media Have Jumped the Shark

Townhall
It is easier to discover an intelligent statement from Joe Biden than it is to find a real journalist in America today. In the Trump era, American journalism has moved from trying to hide its hardcore left-wing agenda to openly advocating for the Democratic Party.
 "For decades, the American news media have been liberal. Studies showed consistent and overwhelming support among the news media for Democratic candidates for president. Even a landslide loser such as 1972 Democratic presidential candidate George McGovern was the runaway favorite among American journalists.
"Previously, the liberal media made a minimal effort to hide their true objectives; however, today, there is no disguising their extreme hatred for President Donald Trump. Their purpose is clear, not to give fair and accurate reporting, but to advocate for the defeat of President Donald Trump and the election of former Vice President Joe Biden.
"At the president’s frequent news conferences, he is subjected to insulting, mean-spirited attacks masquerading as questions. Never has the media treated a president so rudely. Today, the White House press corps are so unhinged they make the rude questioning of Sam Donaldson in the Reagan era look tame in comparison.
"When Barack Obama was president, the media pushed his agenda and asked him obsequious questions such as what “enchanted” him the most about the position. These Democratic Party cheerleaders, poorly imitating reporters, might as well have thrown rose petals at his feet and asked if they could give him a foot rub." . . .

Remember Obama's Hawaii presser when he got this royal CNN treatment?
"After thinking a second – probably wondering how fortunate he is to have such an unapologetic shill in the audience – Obama responded, “That’s a multiple choice question, isn’t it?”

"And this is the type of hard-nosed journalist the supposedly most trusted name in news has as a White House correspondent."
Shill:  1. One who poses as a satisfied customer or an enthusiastic gambler to dupe bystanders into participating in a swindle.2. One who publicly promotes another's cause, especially in an extravagant or misleading way.
