3 Proofs that mainstream media bias does not exist, that Republicans should be crazy to attack CNN, etc, like Obama attacked Fox News : 

Earlier this month, before the suspicious packages sent to democrats, suspicious packages were sent to Republicans, some testing positive for ricin, one grain of which is lethal and has no known antidote.

1. The media asserted that Trump's rhetoric and his alone was the cause of the suspicious packages sent to democrats. Certainly we can find media giving equal blame to his opponents rhetoric from earlier this month for the packages sent to republicans.

2. Media dubbed the second unknown mailer the MAGA bomber, certainly they must have dubbed the first three Love Trumps Hate bomber.

3. CNN ran the ticker blaming Trump as news was just breaking about the second mailer, they must have run the ticker blaming democrats for the first.

Or none of the above is true and media bias seems glaring.

Democrats are to blame for the packages sent to Republicans in equal amount to the blame resting on Republicans for packages sent to democrats.

Maybe this stuff isn't restricted to one side, but we just assume it is because the media gets viewership by polarizing so they present it that way. (Or media outlets are more just active as an arm of a political party and we'd do well to acknowledge that.)

Maybe we can rise above the constant us VS them mentality and get away from the one sided outrage for a minute to think clearly.
