They can't.

But you don't have to have credibility to appeal to the Republicans.

They are not particular as long as you stay on message.

How can a news organization claim to be fair & balanced if they sponsor a political candidate by basically giving him non-stop political endorsement and positive coverage 24/7? That is basically what every news organization other than FOX does on a regular basis for Obama - I feel like I am watching an infomercial selling Obama whenever I watch CBS, MSNBC, or CNN. If FOX News isn't fair and balanced, as you no doubt are suggesting, than neither are these organizations.

Same way that GE through MSNBC gives money to political parties, then does stories on how we need companies like GE to make us more energy independent.

Every company does it. They give money to the political party that helps them best. News papers have been doing this for years.

Reality is a ***** huh?

i do no longer think of they are merchandising it. I say, they are doing their jobs by employing reporting the information and what happens. Grantid, no different information outlet will checklist the Tea events yet they're going to be beneficial to checklist and make a 10 minute information tale over 10 human beings protesting Bush at his ranch...

Like the CEO of GE, who is on Obama's economic recovery board. Pushing green jobs which means wind generation that GE produces, in China.
