Reply #13: Why does the media always go to republicans?

[ThomCat]

The mainstream media has a long-running bias in favor of republicans, and they always assume that on any serious issue only republicans can speak authoritatively.

Democrats are almost always allowed to speak only if they are paired with a republican, or outnumbered by republicans, so that their message never gets presented without being denies and criticized.

Republicans almost always get to present their ideas alone, so that their ideas stand un-critiqued, un-rebutted, unchallenged. On panels, they are like to outnumber their opponents so they can drown out whatever they don't like, or win by sheer repetition.

What people hear the most begins to sound the most legitimate even if it is pure nonsense. The media knows this and helps the republicans use this to their benefit.
