I don’t have a television, and even if I did I doubt that I’d spend much time watching the television “news” shows, but I think my general impression is correct.
The more of a whackjob you are as a Congressperson, the more chance you have of getting yourself on television. Latest example I’ve run across is here, where we find that one Anna Paulina Luna (R, of course) essentially made up facts about Ukraine’s attempt to join NATO. We also learn, of course, that the person interviewing her only mildly corrected her, and when she insisted her lies were true, he, of course, backed off. This is hardly a rare occurence. Republican liars and idiots are featured constantly, and not only on Fox.
It is asking too much, I guess, to expect even the so called mainstream (non-Fox, non-Newsmax, etc.) media to simply deny airtime to these congenital liars. Meanwhile, and again of course, responsible politicians (almost all D, of course) are rarely interviewed.
