Money Is the Basis of Support by Mainstream News Media to Liberals and Democrats

Why does the mainstream news media support Liberals and Democrats in general? Answer: Money!

The mainstream news media consists of radio stations, television channels, newspapers and magazines. Their business is basically to make a profit. To do this, they develop entertainment programs, which are generally attractive to the listening and reading public. However, the mainstream news media revenue source is from advertising products and services. The larger the attracted audience, the more individual advertisers are changed to advertise their products and services. This is a "tried and true" system, which has been in operation in the US and in most parts of the world for a long time. While the cost of advertising is high, it has been found that subsequently generated sales revenues almost always exceed the advertising costs. Conversely, companies who do not advertise generally go out of business from lack of sales.

Wealthy Liberals are generally from a class of well-educated individuals who have achieved substantial assets either through their own efforts or through inheritance. They generally operate on the basis of a guilt complex, which says, "I am not entitled to all of the things that I have, and I believe we should distribute some of this wealth to the 'less privileged' ". Conversely, the usual Democratic voter has very few financial assets but has the right to vote. He is a person receiving substantial personal benefits from government. Even though those benefits may be unsustainable, if government goes into bankruptcy or otherwise falls. He is only interested in the immediate and very near future. The power base of Liberals and Democrats is then through money of the former and the votes of the latter. The money is the attractive aspect for the mainstream news media.

By following their idealism of redistribution of wealth, wealthy Liberals make large cash donations of many millions of dollars to Democratic political candidates, who promise to push the socialist agenda. An ancillary aspect of the redistribution is that Liberals and Democrats usually want to redistribute everybody else's wealth. while hopefully exempting their own assets.

The political candidates have significant expenses in their reelection. They not only have their own personal expenses, but they also have the expenses of their retinue of assistants,whose job it is to arrange for their candidate's reelection. Much of the expense goes to advertising. This advertising revenue is no different than the normal revenue from product manufacturers and service suppliers. Because of the size of the "account", it is given special treatment by the news media management. In order to keep the system going, the mainstream news media not only floats the socialist advertising, which they are paid, but they also independently express support for the Liberal and Democratic suppliers.

Since advertising has been proven to be traditionally very effective, it behooves the Republican Party to try to buy out the mainstream news media by over-contributing to their welfare and profits, as opposed to the contributions from Liberals and Democrats. This may seem like an immoral way to be spending money, but I see no other way that the Republicans can get a fair shake in saving this country. Except for some talk radio programs and Fox Television News, the mainstream news media holds the "power of the press". If one wants to use that power for his benefit, it is necessary to buy it.

Where do the political candidates stand in this scenario? They are the financial intermediaries, with only one objective in mind. That is, to be reelected. They are the means by which advertising dollars are spent. They cater to wealthy Liberals for contributions and the mainstream news media in turn caters to them for their share of advertising money. Therefore, for the Republicans to buy their way into the system, they must either buy the Socialist/Democrats, who will in turn buy the mainstream news media, or the Republicans must place their own well-heeled candidates, who will be attractive to the mainstream news media for the potential revenues from those candidates.
