The media landscape is just a twisted mess. CNN has seen their ratings take a pummeling for swinging way too far to the Left. While FoxNews offered an outlet for some Right leaning voices and has run with it all the way to the bank.
Now CNN is trying to get more Conservatives in their fold, along with some new Liberals too. Is CNN now trying to have more balance? La Shawn Barber has been invited to do election night coverage with CNN. (Good for her.) If her being invited is not a sign of somebody in CNN realizing the gross error of their ways and trying to bring about some level of correction, I don’t know what is. I guess we just have to pray more uncompromising Christian voices continue to be given an opportunity to speak there. Because they’ve still got a VERY LONG way to go.
FoxNews has long been dreaded by Liberals. Simply because the network is not as horrible as CNN. Not that FoxNews is truly a Conservative news outlet, they just sometimes offer the truth. True Conservative news outlets are sources like Newsmax, World Net Daily and Michael Savage who has said many times that FoxNews is not a Conservative network. Savage has been having some “I told you so” moments, now that News Corporation founder Rupert Murdoch is getting cozy with the Clintons. Now News Corp. paper the NY Post has endorsed Hillary Clinton for THE CURRENT ELECTION AND THE ONE FOLLOWING THAT! One letter to the paper from a reader says:
The Post was the only New York paper I could turn to without a liberal left-wing slant; then I woke up and discovered your endorsement.
Clinton is a leftist tax-’em-to-death liar who is against monitoring terrorist communication, the Patriot Act, tax cuts and school choice.
Chuck Knoll
Huntington
I wonder if Chuck knows about the Murdoch/Clinton connection? Murdoch wants to get in good with Hillary in case Liberals gain more power. So they don’t mess with his media empire. He will dance with whatever he sees has power or might obtain it. Proving he’s just a businessman. Not a Conservative.
So now, that which was deemed Liberal is trying to get more Conservative and that which was deemed Conservative by some is Liberal.
What a mess! But this makes fertile ground for another new outlet to emerge. Because news companies might change their stripes, but the people are not going to give up their values.

Maybe I’m missing something, but since our pathetic “tri-state” Republican parties couldn’t get Mother Theresa elected running against Hitler, I suppose the Post was endorsing Hillary for Senator because, 1)she’s gonna get elected anyway,and 2)it might keep her away from the White House. Hope everyone has a splendid week and keep praying for good men and women everywhere to stand against evil. We need people who value life and liberty.

With CNN, MSNBC and now the Murdoch Empire behind Hillary, it leaves us Conservatives with no real allies in TV news.
If Liberals ever do succeed in bringing back the “Fairness Doctrine” they might shoot themselves in the foot! I don’t want any rules like that setup, but Liberals might regret it if they do bring it back.
Things are so much different now from when the Fairness Doctrine was first suggested back in the 1960s, it’s insane to think they want to bring it back. Conservative talkers have Liberals on for discussions all the time. And even if they don’t, the Liberals have a plethora of ways to get their messages out now that were not even available then when times were much different.
