...majority of air time...? When there is Republican in office, it's implied that "Of course stories lean to the right, and conservative views are better represented... after all there America elected a Republican into office."
When there is a Democratic President, it's implied that "Of course their stories lean to the right and conservatives are better represented... after all there is a Democratic President in office so we need to make sure the minority is heard."
No way Doc... there is a pro-corporate / right-wing spin on most things now-a-days. Further, it's always a controversy to allow Move-On or another lefty PAC to put a commercial out... The right-wingers do it, no problem, and then every "news" outlet is talking about and replaying the commercial as part of their news programming... giving it further free air time. Seriously... do you remember the Swift Boat nonsense?
There are two types of news in the MSM, right-wing and moderate. You never hear pro-Union pro-Labor, pro-environmental, pro-population control, or any pro- *insert liberal philosopy.." on the MSM news.
But you sure hear every day about the tea-baggers, the birthers, the 9-12 protest and all of the hard right ideas out there.
