Turns out media bias can impact elections

Turns out media bias can impact elections June 17, 2016

According to this story, where the media ‘blackout’ appears to have hurt Sanders.  I’m sure Sanders fans, many of whom have mocked the idea that the media has anything to do with Trump’s popularity, will be happy to know that the media had something to do with Sanders’ loss.

This is a tough sell if you think about it.  After all, especially from those to the left of center, the idea that the media is biased or in any way shapes opinion is often scoffed at.  There is no media bias, unless it is for big business interests.  Besides, Americans aren’t influenced by the media.  Except, apparently, when they are.

Remember what I’ve said about the biggest weapon in the Leftist arsenal?  Yesterday’s truth?  The more I look at things through the prism of that observation, the more I realize just how common it is.
