Fine. Youre right. Billionaire media Republicans cannot compete with billionaire media Democrats. Poor Republicans.
So it isnt that Republicans arent mainstream enough to win the White House, its that Republicans, a notoriously white and wealthy political body, cannot compete with other notoriously white and wealthy Democrats for the White House?
..and the reason for this is because conservative media cannot compete with liberal media?
So what youre saying is, Republicans cant compete, in effect? That liberals are better at obscuring the issues through their chosen media, that reaches a wider audience thereby influencing more people?
If we are such a conservative country, why are people watching liberal media sources when there are clearly conservative options to be had?
Moreover, who is the liberal media? ABC, NBC and CNN? Who is conservative? Fox and CBS?
ABC is owned by Disney. NBC is owned by General Electric. CNN is owned by Ted Turner. MSNBC is an affiliate of NBC, also a property of GE. CBS is tricky, apparently. Was bought by Viacom, was split into CBS Corporation which is controlled by
Summer Redstone through its parent
National Amusements. Wow...real successful company CBS is. As it were, Sumner Redstone is a true-blue Democrat, who supported Bush over Kerry in 2004, but beyond that, he is a Democrat.
Thats just TV media, nevermind print media.
From Disney's corporate website:

Sounds pretty conservative to me. They are either faking it with their ABC news broadcast or theyre playing to what the audience wants to hear. Which could mean two things. 1) Disney is a liberal company disguised as a conservative as evidenced by their
numerous political contributions or 2) the audience they speak to, Americans, is quite a bit less conservative than you seem to imply.
NBC, owned by General Electric
A GE do ent citing their 2006 political contributions.

Seems to me GE is rather broad based in the political scope. A company like that can be seeing as they are one of the largest stock-holders in government.
Again, this implies two things: 1) GE is politically neutral but contributes to the liberal media conspiracy while still donating large sums of money to Republicans and 2) it would seem their audience isnt quite as conservative as you imply it should be.
It seems to me the liberal bias is a myth perpetuated by those who cannot fathom someone else having the audacity to disagree with them on political talking points.
Republicans are not mistreated, nor do they endure any more degree of scrutiny than a Democrat based solely on party affiliation.
A person will be mistreated and they will endure a higher degree of scrutiny when they are the easiest target out of two.
Physics, man. Path of least resistance. You have two equally sized whales you can hunt, one going west, one going east, only one boat. The whale going east cant hold its breath as long, thereby surfaces more and swims slower than the other. You choose to go west?
I dont think so.
