The major problem is with the GOP in that they are so fearful of the MSM that they couch all their responses, all their pronounces,etc. so as to present to the MSM in a favorable light.
DOESN"T work GOP!
All the GOP politicians want the MSM to "like them". It doesn't work! The MSM is in the Democrat camp.
President Trump knows this. The GOP still doesn't!
President Trump reaches all of us beyond the biased headlines/30 second teasers put out by the MSM.
What really surprises me though is the Democrat/progressive/liberal reader/viewer that is buying into everything the MSM writes/shows.
The surprise is that the Democrat/progressive/liberal reader/viewer generally holds these views as I've
seen especially on this board:
1) America is a bad place to live.
2) Capitalism is evil. Profits are bad.
3) Socialism is better.
Now there are more views I'm sure but based on these three I'm truly surprised WHY the Democrat/ progressive/liberal reader/viewer believes the MSM.
After all what pays the bills at MSM? Advertising.
In 2017 it is estimated at $200 billion a year.
Advertising spending in the U.S. 2017 | Statistic
So salaries,etc are paid out of this $200 billion and More than two-thirds (69%) of all domestic news revenue is derived from advertising. Revenue Sources: A Heavy Dependence on Advertising
So if advertising provides the MSM most of it's revenue and $200 billion spent on advertising something
must be used to attract the reader/viewer.
About nine-in-ten U.S. adults (91%) learned about the election in the past week from at least one of 11 types of sources asked about, ranging from television to digital to radio to print.

So the MSM influences decisions for people who BUY products/services advertised by the MSM.
Why then do the Democrat/ progressive/liberal reader/viewer again hating capitalism, America,etc.
want to watch a venue that depends on revenue generated by evil capitalism?
Do you Democrat/ progressive/liberals understand the hypocrisy you have in hating capitalism, America,etc. but you support the MSM that depends on the evil businesses, $200B a year to sustain them!
