that list has nowhere near the reach or audience numbers as even the worst rated MS-Now program

You sure about that?.

It's also not about one single item, it's the full spread of the media apparatus which I would bet when taken as a whole conservatives outreach Democrats by quite a bit and have for a long time. Be proud, stand on ground, this took decades, you guys did it, you are the mainstream now.

there's at least one and usually more left-wing equivalents.

And the conservative ones tend to be more popular. One complaint I have about the Democrats is they don't have alternative media anywhere close to say Daily Wire or a ground game that was anywhere close as Turning Point. Again no need to be coy, Republicans have a big media system!

Republicans have dominated the Big 3, NPR, Newspapers, wire services, etc etc etc?

Again i'm not gonna use metrics that aren't relevant and only exist to make yourself the eternal victim. It isn't true! This entire narrative is baked into the media apparatus! It's a big part of the strategy, i've been hearing this my entire life.

Also let's also remember that at least 3 cabinet members were hired directly out of Fox News (Pirro, Hegseth, Duffy) and Fox currently Employs at least 2 spouses of cabinet members (Miller and Duffy) and also employs about a dozen other Fox contributors of various sorts.

A level of media collusion that only existed in Republican's rage dreams about Democrats that they decided to make real.

lol.

The Media Research Center (MRC) is an American conservative content analysis and media watchdog group based in Herndon, Virginia

Do I really need to read that fucking thing and find out how they did their analysis by including nearly no conservative news sources, or are you just going to retract it like a good little boy?

Major topics included tariffs, which received 361 minutes of coverage, followed by the Department of Government Efficiency with 310 minutes, and illegal immigration at 233 minutes.

Maybe all hose things are actually bad? There's very little good news about the tariffs beyond the press releases and statements the admin says about them. Same for DOGE which was an absolute abject failure. Oh and brutal immigration raids is salacious to make the news, you're kinda feeding the beast with that.

But hey if you want to bring back the Fairness Doctrine let's have at it!

It's easy to make your case when you just exclude alllllll the conservative media particualrly in new and alt-media spaces. Let's list some out:

Fox News, still the #1 cable news by a long shot.
Wall Street Journal (this is 50/50)
All of the Daily Wire (Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh, Michael Knowles, all large influencers)
Tucker Carlson
The "All In" guys (one of them is in the admin!)
Candace Owens
Joe Rogan
Newsmax
OANN
Blaze
Truth Social
Epoch Times
Breitbart
Daily Caller
Rumble
National Review
Washington Times
Gateway Pundit
Pim Tool
Washington Examiner
Infowars

And we can keep going, that's just the surface level and we haven't even gotten into the more obscure social media outlets and platforms. For Republicans to claim they have no media presence while they have been dominating the entire media landscape for 20 years is pissing on your and telling you it's raining. Its kayfabe, pretend, the "mainstream media" isn't real.

I don't know, I feel like Republicans may have set the baseline, here, don't you?
I'm not sure the FTC has ever been so partisan as it is today.
I think Democrats are at the point where they're idiots if they don't start playing the game you guys have been playing.

I should not be tolerated.

I've been telling you that for years. I'm please that we've come to an accord.

With debt it is easy to determine that you are underwater and are going to be unable to make your payments in the future. Basic arithmetic really.

With climate the same is roughly true, but the models have a wider range of possible outcomes the further you go out. Still, it is not difficult to find some thresholds where the costs ramp up or thresholds we cannot not come back from with current technology.

This comment is so revealing. "The Government" == "The President"

These are members of Congress, they can say what they want, they're allowed to oppose the Executive because (and here's the civics lesson) they are not part of the Executive Branch.

When a court rules against an Executive Agency are they "undermining the ability of the current government to execute policy."?

When John Boehner said about Obama's agency and I quote "“We’re going to do everything — and I mean everything we can do — to kill it, stop it, slow it down, whatever we can.” was he undermining?

This is a laughable objection fit only for the safest of spaces.
