CNN and major news networks spout Democratic viewpoints every day. Any Republican who turns on their TV is going to hear from Democrats. NPR is the closest thing to unbiased in this country. I also listen to Chris Plante, Rush Limbaugh, and several other Republican pundits. Republican talk shows are highly entertaining. It is dramatic and often funny. I think that Glenn Beck was the best humorist in the Republican party. I love to listen to Newt Gingrich analyze issues.
Democrats have a distinct disadvantage. The liberal agenda is unflinchingly repeated on several different news channels. The Daily Show used to replay media people using the exact same words to report the same story. Look at how liberal pundits alternately praised and vilified the FBI director. He was either a hero or a villain. I believe the FBI director was trying very hard to be honorable. I felt sorry for Director Comey. The media told us that the FBI director was a Republican. They usually failed to mention that he had been appointed by President Obama. Have you noticed that the media calls every Republican a racist? Have you noticed how the minimize any story that might hurt Democrats?
Somehow they thought it was Donald Trump's fault when Hillary Clinton supporters disrupted his rallies. I think the unflinching media bias actually hurt Mrs. Clinton. Did you see how shocked Democrats were when Clinton lost? They never imagined that they could lose.
Republicans get at least two viewpoints on every news item. Some times all of the media in America gets it wrong. I often rely on foreign press like the BBC for less biased coverage.
I am trying to say that the best way to reach a good decision is to listen to all sides of a topic.
