The mainstream cable news's overwhelming conservative bias.

Also a conduit for right wing propaganda. There is no liberal media, just programs/personalities that are not so overtly right wing. MSNBC, which is touted as progressive, promoted Barr's summary as the gospel truth for two weeks, along with the rest of the media. The media gives lip service to worldviews other than conservative, and some of them pretend they are not. But they don't actively promote those positions and almost always sabotage progressives, as the media did when they deliberately misconstrued Bernie's mention of reparations. A couple of reporters contrived an entirely different context, which essentially pushed Sanders off a cliff. These people aren't our enemies, but they're not our allies. The media is a business, just like a supermarket. And just like unscrupulous grocers, the media is more than happy to sell us rotting meat that's been pinked up with carbon monoxide in order to make it appear fresh.
