In a way I agree. Bias has always been there. We long for this imagined


past when it wasn't. That's part of any demagogue's approach - create an ideal past than never existed and promise to bring the world back to it.

FOX is not a result of media bias as much as it is a result of demand for media bias. That's the paradox in all this. CNN, MSNBC, FOX, all of them - they are the way they are because that's the business plan that allows them to exist. You and I are the reason they exist. Our words say we object to the bias, but our dollars say the opposite.

When's the last time you heard Trump call out FOX's bias or inaccuracies? The man champions conspiracy theories. You think he is a champion of unbiased reporting? He's a champion for controlling reporting. He makes media bias worse, not better.
