Why the MSM Loves the GOP.

[silverstateD]

First the dominance of TV and Radio have caused profit seeking media outlets to value "TVQ" or "Personality" more than integrity, honesty, or any sort journalist qualifications. Also the trend to the syndicate columns by the same people erodes print media as well. A "Personality" may be functionally illiterate, they can have some an assistant write the column or a producer prepare the broadcast. "Journalism" now is more about appearance and branding then anything else.

Second, after years of Media consolidation the MSM is dominated large corporations that value money above all else most of whom themselves are run by republicans. These people hirer other Republicans or at the very least other apolitical profit seekers, not journalist's. Truth is even the Republicans among them care little about politics, its more about income generation and maintaining the status quo than anything.

The result is that the MSM from a managerial level down to the ranks of the producers and "Journalists" is dominated by small minded simpletons that have been bought and paid for by major corporations.

The present day GOP is dominated by small minded, simpletons, owned by big money and fueled by a bigoted, self serving agenda.

They love and understand each other because they are cut from the same cloth. They are the same kind of people and in the case of Fox New,e.g. Rupert Murdock and Tony Snow, they are literally the same people.

Thank you and good luck.

10. Yes?

not to mention the GOP gives them simple, easy to regurgitate talking points

that they can simply report as literal fact, wihtout bothering to follow up or factcheck or request sources or anything like that. So it lets them be lazy and sloppy.

"The Republicans say this new budget will lower taxes for the middle class, provide better health care to all, and will eliminate the deficit by forty bazillion dollars." says the smiling halfwit anchor on TV

7. Exactly

5. But, but...isn't the Media liberal??? Everybody says so.

Over and over and over again for the past 40 years.

8. It does not have the soul to be conservative

or liberal the coprate media is about mindless consumption

6. Big business bought out the media after the PR disasters of Vietnam &Watergate

NBC overtly speaks for General Electric. ABC is this giant Disney media company and CBS is this Viacom giant--they throw in with the GOP because rich people have common cause. Hence a horrid two decades of trashing the Democrats. Fox was started by a GOP party head, Roger Ailes.

Politics is easy.

9. now were cooking with gas....

it not about a consevative agenda it about a corprate agenda. There turn on the GOP soon enogh and try to co-opt the Democratic party again. This is why it is important to watch out for candidates that put ambition (a little ambition is a job requirment) too far ahead of politics.
