Study: Clinton-Trump coverage was a feast of false equivalency

13. Yes. And the Democratic Party keeps letting it happen. We can't call out the media as right wing,

it wouldn't be effective and it would look like sour grapes. What we should do is call out the media for being water carriers for the rich elite class; the 1%. We should do this uniformly as a party. We should not let up. These media companies are propaganda wings of in some cases, multinational companies. Our mainstream media in its entirety is owned by only a handful of these megacorps, and those megacorps have agendas. A poorly informed electorate is absolutely beneficial to their bottom lines. A love fest with advertisers, which means not doing any real reporting on them, is beneficial to their bottom line.

We thought we could play nice with them by not running too opposed to their interests and that they would in turn grace us with better coverage. We got played for fools. Its high time we pulled back the curtain and let people see the machinery that is feeding them vapidity and lies. This "liberal media" BS has been allowed to infest the bubbles of our electorate for far too long.
