...the reason the American media does this "both sides" bullshit dance as it's core tactic is because for years Republicans called them out (incorrectly) on their perceived biases.

But rather than fighting fire with fire, too many Democrats decided to play along and pretend that there really was a need for "bipartisan" coverage. Too many of them had this naive faith in a core American institution that just does not exist any more. And they've spent too long letting this get out of hand and hoping and wishing that it would just course correct.

It hasn't.

It's not going to.

Just as the long gone days of Tip and Ronnie being best buds after "work", the days of an honest media and the days of any good-faith Republicans existing are long gone. And we need more people in power on our side to start acting that way.

We need to start demanding that they push back. No Democrat should go on Fox news. Ever.

No democrat should be on any show and allow the host or hosts to get away with the "whataboutisms" or the "but so and so said/did."

Call out their (actual not perceived) biases.
