I don't know, you going to have to ask the left wing newspapers, left wing investigators and journalists who work for them and the left wing national media/news outlets that always jumps on the left wing bandwagon? I assume there's a liberal bias that has existed in the government and the press for many years and there's a major reward for those turn in or catch Republicans. I don't know, you tell me how a Democratic Senator and his family get away with making millions for themselves off American tax dollars while in office.

There is an elite bias in the upper echelons of any large entity.  If government, K-Street and the media reward its Alpha players well, it's a pittance to the amounts handed to professional athletes, top-tier professionals in the legal and medical fields, and especially to corporate C-suite occupants.  Even more to the point, the GOP has many more Alpha members than the Democrats do -- even allowing for the money the Democrat's Alphas brought with them.

Also, I assume that the Democratic run media doesn't want to know about anything bad that could hurt the party that they favor. I assume the Democratic slant wasn't as obvious back then as it is to most today.

The media slammed that war pretty early.  The war didn't really escalate until 1966-7 (roughly when I entered service).  By 1969, none of the MSM agreed with the war, with the exception of some on the conservative press.  As far as how things are now, it's the RW press that does nothing but carry water for the GOP.  Obama got criticized for many things by the NY Times, CNN and many other MSM outlets.  How's Fox's record on Trump?  … or Sinclair Broadcasting … or Breitbart … any of them! 


Even worse, they have a dark media operation that uses social media to flood those open to propaganda,. with exactly the nonsense they are most willing to accept. Brad Parscales is on it for Trump, in a YUGE way.
