Sure both sides do it, but if we are going to focus on the one and ignore the multiple in opposition then you really are no better than the media.
Fair and balanced

The only reason you and others can’t focus on one is because the one is Fox.
Otherwise critique focused on CNN, MSNBC, etc can easily be focused on as one without one reference to how Fox is the same or worse.
Biting hard on the party line.
Of course that means only a standing BJ. With the porn sloot you could do just about anything you want.
Your call.
How is this news to anyone? Pun intended.
I don’t understand the vitriol towards Fox when the other news sources are allowed to get away with the same BS. There’s little doubt that Fox is complicit in pushing an agenda; but how is that any different from the other news sources?
It’s obvious, however, the travster doesn’t watch Fox. If he did, he’d realize that Fox News has their fair share of Never Trumpers.
Around 90% of the news media identify as liberal/progressive so there is that. However I am sure that has no influence on main stream news media coverage ....right
From the source themselves and it’s closer to 100%. Can’t remember the group that did the poll but they asked journalists and telecommunication professionals to identify their political affiliation a couple years ago and it was 90 something percent identified as liberal democrats. Just look at story coverage and it tells you everything. The MSM refuses to address the great economic growth since Trump took over yet they cover anything negative ad nasuem in regards to any snippets about Trump or his family. It’s embarrassing how unprofessional and biased today’s so called journalists have become.
CPI analysis
The Center for Public Integrity describes itself as a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that aims to "serve democracy by revealing abuses of power, corruption and betrayal of public trust by powerful public and private institutions, using the tools of investigative journalism."[11] CPI researchers used campaign finance data filed with the Federal Election Commission as well as other sources (such as LinkedIn profiles) to determine the amounts donated to either Trump or Clinton from people self-identified as journalists.[4][5]
CPI identified about 430 individuals working in journalism who contributed to either candidate between January 2015 and August 2016. Of the $396,000 they contributed, 96 percent ($382,000) went to Clinton, and 4 percent (about $14,000) went to Trump.[4]
CPI's analysis included reporters and editors in a variety of journalism jobs.[4] Co-author Dave Levinthal told Ballotpedia that CPI’s pool of donors did not include reporters who covered the White House or who were regularly on the campaign trail with Trump and/or Clinton. “A few of the journalists who did make contributions to one or the other candidate did cover or edit political news of some sort—typically state or local politics," Levinthal said.[5]
Other analyses
Ballotpedia also reviewed three other analyses of journalists’ campaign contributions. All used federal campaign finance data.
The Media Research Center, which describes its mission as "to expose and neutralize the propaganda arm of the Left: the national news media," used federal campaign finance data collected by the Center for Responsive Politics to identify donors working for ABC, CBS, NBC, The New York Times, or The Washington Postbetween 2008 and 2016.[12] The data focused on the donors’ partisan preference, not the amount of contributions, and included retirees who listed the companies with their donations. Of the 122 donors identified, 94 percent (115) donated to Democrats.[8]
The Center for Responsive Politics describes itself as a "[n]onpartisan, independent and nonprofit...research group tracking money in U.S. politics and its effect on elections and public policy." The group examined donors identified as working in journalism or for news organizations in the 2010 election cycle.[13] A total of 235 such individuals contributed $469,900—65 percent of which benefited Democrats. As with the other analyses, the donor pool included non-political reporters and corporate employees of news organizations.[6]
MSNBC analyzed the partisan divide in donations from newsroom anchors, reporters, and editors who were identified in FEC documents between January 2004 and the first quarter of 2007. Of the 143 journalists in the donor pool, 87 percent (125) donated to Democrats and liberal causes.[7]
Conclusion
During an MSNBC interview on July 14, Rep. Dave Brat claimed the media is biased for giving more attention to the Trump administration's alleged Russian connections than to the issue of Hillary Clinton's connections to foreign money through the Clinton Foundation. Brat said, "Why is that? Well, maybe it's because 97 percent of the donations from mainstream [media] folks go to the Democrat Party."[1]
Brat based his claim on the results of a Center for Public Integrity analysis, which found that more than 96 percent of the donations from journalists to either Clinton or Trump between January 2015 and August 2016 went to Clinton.[4]
Ballotpedia reviewed three other analyses of contributions from donors identified as journalists and found that a majority of the donors or a majority of the donations (depending on the study) benefited Democrats or liberal causes.[6]

Hunter’s laptop says hello. It actually had real issues on it and it wasn’t a story covered by the left.
Not just that it wasn't covered. It was actively and continuously suppressed and eradicated off social media platforms. Twitter was also banning accounts if you posted a link to the original NYPost story or any platform discussing the NYPost story. "50 former Intel analysts and professionals signed a letter stating it was Russian disinformation...." or whatever that bullshit was.
Fox, even as bad as it is, hasn't come close to the shit that other left media has done.
Once the Walter Cronkite generation died so did unbiased journalism. Journalist are not supposed to lean for one party over the other. But it does 100% on both sides now. There are no ethics in journalism anymore!! And with the vast majority of Journalist are 90+ percent liberal scum their questions come directly from the Dem. Party. In the past the Press would ask Presidents tough hard ball questions regardless of which party they were from. However, today's press would do anything to crucify conservatives including making up stories when needed. But Biden gets questioned about ice cream. Questions to Dem. leaders are pre-approved now - which is a joke.
By the way do you have a link to MSNBC's press about Hunter Biden's illegal affairs that were shown to be on his laptop. They just ignore that and those activities were illegal versus ohh ... The shocker that some billionaire banged some model. Which is not illegal and irrelavant. I thought the left did not care who or what someone slept with ? JFK's affairs were highly ignored and with Bill Clinton they tried to ignore them and would have if Luwinsky had not kept the evidence on her dress. Clinton's sexual harassment and assaults have still gone unpunished. They also tried to back Govt. Cuomo up until the me too group got on board and then they turned on their own and once that happens your career is over regardless of your politics.
It is an interesting fact that every president that has been elected in a year endind with zero has not completed their term..
It is interesting the Left's obsession with Trump and they still can't get enough of him. Just a search of the MSNBC web site shows about 10X the number of stories about Trump compared to the Fox News' web site. Trump should not be a daily obsession to them anymore but they just cant help themselves as it is all they know. After all they can't exactly talk about Biden's greatness. It is ironic though when one considers how much the liberal media loved Trump with his sexual conquest and all right up until he became the Republican candidate.
I prefer the liberal media stay focused on him as Trump to me is in the rear view mirror and I prefer he not run again. Let them all waste their time and lets move on.
