Quote:Trump’s media allies use attack on GOP baseball practice to delegitimize the press
MM
This should not surprise. As I've noted before, the most fundamental notion forwarded by right wing media (and this is done every hour of every day from every element in this media universe) is that all other media has a left-wing bias.
That formulation:
1) provides their reason for their existence
2) justifies any level of bias they manifest
3) facilitates the capture of a large segment of the population for political purposes
4) provides a huge eco-system of big money profit-taking through eyeballs, clicks, books, speeches, donations, funding from entities served by them, and a vast array of associated sales gimmicks.
