Jeffrey Zucker is a prime example. As CEO of CNN he made it clear to all workers that attacking the Republican party generally, and Donald Trump specifically, is the prime directive for every employee of CNN. Praising Democrats for anything they do or don't do is a secondary directive. Strangely, generating ratings or revenue for CNN is a distant third directive, which probably explains CNN's low levels of both.
The majority of other news outlets have similar directives against Republicans and for Democrats, even if they are not as haywire as CNN. All these news outlets consider pursuit of their three directives as much more important than pesky, outdated annoyances like: integrity, honesty, professionalism, and abiding by the law.
All of these news outlets get completely outraged by any other news outlet that leans the other way, which is to say towards Republican viewpoints instead of against them. The list of those news outlets consists of: FoxNews, and well, um, FoxNews, and also.... did I mention FoxNews?
Anyway, the main point is that everyone needs to keep in mind that the NewsMedia is not trying to inform you; they are trying to change you. It is only when you keep that in mind that you can protect yourself against it.
The corrupt Dem party executed its Joseph Goebbels media takeover strategy in the 60's...

And has instructed those--ALLIES-- to always back it and help spread its propaganda and its brainwashing our school children. That was in the original first phase , the take over media and public education..--Tyr
