Have some self respect and journalistic integrity.
In America it really does seem like we can only trust some independent sources and media, certainly not the major networks that are bought and owned.

It's not "Republicans bought all of the publications", it's "billionaires bought all of the publications".
For example, Rupert Murdoch is not a Republican. He just uses them for his own ends.
This is international, it's not American or Republican.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rupert_Murdoch
It's really that "Conservatives" have bought out all the papers and news and media and... 😞
Murdoch backed Koch for mayor of NYC and Obama for President, for example.
They will use bOtH pArTiEs to achieve their ends, they're not hiding it and what they support.
Rupert is pro free market and pro Israel, otherwise he could give a shit about US political parties, D or R is fine.
Yes. In the US both parties are very well into the Conservative side of the spectrum.
Even in Canada the current Liberals are right of centre ... We really need real pro labour parties in both countries
Honestly the "Republican" ideology is kind of a global now too. They need a new name for the global instance.
Edit: actually they need a new name in general because they dont even care for republics anymore, its all centralized power boners.
You've put the cart before the horse.
The "republican" ideology has adopted the global goals of their corporate sponsors... just as the "democrat" ideology has done.
It's a "new world order".
Examples... Democrats were once "pro labor". Now, that's just a joke.
Republicans were once "state's rights". Those days are over.
(yes, I know that bOtH PaRtIeS claim otherwise, but look at the results)
