"Mainstream Media"

So this is bugging me... Fox news is not some bastion of hope in an otherwise lie filled media world.  They are not the ones being honest amongst liars, and they are NOT some underground movement of free-thought.

But I still see headlines about what how Fox personalities are "uncovering the truth the liberal media won't talk about" and all this other rubbish.

Usually after I've already read about this "hidden truth" elsewhere.

Mainstream media is a for profit business.  They almost universally lack professional integrity.  Fox News is part of the mainstream media.  Americans identifying as Democrat and Americans identifying as Republican are within a percentage point of each other.  So for realsies... conservatives are not some oppressed minority.  Please stop pretending otherwise.  You are part of a very popular group.  Elections are a toss-up.  The world isn't out to get you.  You are not victims.

Oi.
