They all have the same narrative- even with the same catch phrases and words on a daily basis. Who is orchestrating their production? (My guess is that China has gained control and influence with the msm the same way that they did with the UN and Hollywood, but regardless they may well succeed at destroying our way of life with fear and propaganda).
They not only will do ANYTHING to get rid of Trump, but they see an opportunity to end our capitalist system and move into socialism. They don’t want the US to recover, they want control.

MSM: Trump will be removed!
Trump not removed
Trump is a dictator!
Trump gives states power
MSM: Trump handled crisis poorly!
Trump poll numbers went up than pre-covid polls.

The MSM has taken sides, and pushes talking points (they all say the same phrases, night after night). People who only listen to one side might not realize that.
Baron (and other "unwell" posters) believes the media and the Democrats have conspired to parlay this pandemic into a Depression ..... solely to unseat Trump in November.
Never mind that > 50% of the electorate were already planning to vote for anyone other than Trump .... PRIOR to the pandemic.

It makes sense that when the media uses the same words on the same days to describe things...and then changes to a new set of words the next day...and then changes to a new set of repeated words the next day, that they are getting talking points from someone. Perhaps they all hire the same consultants/contributors. It doesn't have to be a "conspiracy" for them to work towards their agenda. They, like you, want the country to shut down until the election, because you are willing to put your party control before the health of the country.

And we will have treatments and will realise that a vaccine is not critical for 90+% of the population.
Because our economy is too consumer-driven. But now consumers not only are worrying about their jobs, finance and their kids' lost education time, they're also worried but about their health risk. If our economy were investment driven, say we're in the middle of 1 trillion infrastructure construction when the virus hit us, then once the virus is over and we resume our economic activities, i.e. repair bridges, roads and airports, build 5G towers, connect last mile of optical fiber to residential neighborhood... you can see the outputs of these economic activities easily reach back to pre-covid level. My point is investment-driven economy recovers faster than consumer-driven economy.
You'll tie yourself in knots worrying about what you think they should or should not be doing. It doesn't matter. You do not need to pay attention to them.

Do you think CNN would've lost ratings by covering the accusations against Biden like they covered those against Kavanaugh?
If not, then why not cover the story?
If so, then I guess they are catering towards only an audience with particular viewpoints, which shows they have an agenda.
Don't watch it. Rush Limbaugh has an agenda. I don't listen to him, and I sure as shit do not menstruate all over the board every day about him.
Without the MSM, the Left would be in major trouble.
Like I tell my kids: "you worry about you "
I decided years ago that the bottom line for me is that I can only really affect my family, so my job is to put them in the best position no matter happens in DC or wherever.
And yet, I still feel free to post opinions here. In this case, I believe Baron is right. Many on CNN are confident in recovery, but they don't want recovery until after the election.
If you vote for the lesser of two evils, you support limited choices.
That's all I am saying, change needs to happen at the grass roots. I refuse to support the status quo where I disagree with it, it's lonely but I am good with that.
Now that I know that there is no viable third party option, and now that I've come to accept that the two major parties offer two very different ways to destroy our Republic, I vote for the way of destroying the public that will have the least detrimental effects on my family (and the country).
Regarding watching them to support them, I'm not sure what you mean. I watch specific shows. E.g., I don't watch Trump-shill Hannity. I do watch progressive-right Tucker Carlson (he is, by no means, traditional GOP). I watch Gutfeld and Watters because they are funny (although Gutfeld is a little more libertarian, and Watters is a little more Hannity-like), and provide great synopsis of the crazier things the Left Media says. I left the cable box on CNN overnight a couple days ago, so they got some good ratings from me at least once.
According to Gallup, 2020-04-14: "In politics, as of today, do you consider yourself a Republican, a Democrat or an Independent?"
27% Republican
31% Democrat
39% Independent
There are plenty of people that are sick of the 2 party system, yet they hold their nose every time the polls open.
There are plenty of people that don't like a lack of unbiased reporting of the news, yet they can't stop watching it.
FPTP is a winner take all system, and it has been shown that such systems force most people to vote against people they don't like, rather than vote for people they do like.
The surest way for PartyONE to beat PartyTWO in a FPTP election is to have a viable PartyTHREE candidate that PartyTWO likes. If such a candidate can be found, PartyONE will surreptitiously fund the PartyTHREE candidate (who has no chance to win) even though PartyONE hates PartyTHREE, in order to take votes away from their opponent PartyTWO (who has a chance to win). If I would rank the candidates like this...which is common for me:
1) PartyTHREE: love this candidate, and really want him to win.
2) PartyONE: don't like this candidate, but know he is not half as bad as...
3) PartyTWO: hate this candidate--the worst candidate by far.
In the FPTP election, the race is really between the candidate I can tolerate and the candidate I hate. If I (and a few million others in key places) vote for the candidate we love, then we make it more likely that the candidate we hate the most will win.
I know you know all this. This is just strategic voting. I was like you in the 90's, and I was a big Harry Brown supporter. "Who?" you might ask? Exactly. I argued against people who voted strategically, like you are doing now. Obviously, I didn't get very far. I made my protest votes, but they had no effect.
Successful change to a third party happens very rarely, and when it does, the non-changing party usually gets 20 years of control while their opponents regroup. That was OK in the 1800s when the Federal Government didn't actually have that much power to affect people's day-to-day lives. But, 20 years of control by the Dems would be very disastrous for the country. In my opinion, it cannot be risked, so I vote strategically, and not for the my "cult" favorite.
I'm curious which non-D/non-R candidates do you vote for?
You’re not helpful.
There are plenty of actual issues for the conservative mind to champion.

You can’t just take one drug. That’s weak.
You need to watch the MSM talk about those things and then get mad.
