Why do we let them get away with "Liberal Media Bias"?

The media are all rich bastards that dont want to lose their tax breaks and it shows.
The media reports there may be liberal media bias as if there really is.
We know they dont want their war rating to end..

And how does the GOP get away with calling the RNC convention media biased?
Do they not remember just last week the DNC convention was about the handful of Hillary PUMAs protesting outside. And when they werent on, they were constantly running all of the GOP attack commercials and they were analyzing how that will effect Obama/Biden and if that will attract the Hillary voters.

I mean really how they hell do they get away with this? And this is jut the latest example..

1. They get away with it because they keep repeating it over and over...
If you repeat a lie enough times, people will believe it.

These assholes are the masters of that strategy.

It drives me crazy that they get away with this shit.

Too bad we are the only ones that have noticed and concerned.. Looks like a game the GOP/MSM have won.

4. I always point towards this
NBC is owned by General Electric...Liberal? No way.
CBS is owned by VIACOM...Liberal? No way.
Fox/Fox News is owned by Rupert Murdoch...Liberal? No way.
ABC is owned by Disney...liberal? No way.

Rush Limbuagh a liberal? No.
Sean Hannity a liberal? No.
Mike Savage a liberal? No.
Glen Beck a liberal? No.

They'll say the NY Times or LA Times. Remind them that newspaper readership is sinking like the Titanic all over the country. They barely have any influence at all anymore. Bill Kristol at the NY Times a Liberal?
