<<Is it a safer/smarter business move to tick off Liberals or Conservatives?>>

What's the point of your question?  Where are you going with this?  If you're going where I think you're going, you're just going to prove that the MSM has a built-in conservative bias, but it's for economic rather than ideological reasons - - which is exactly my point.  They're whores who follow the money.  You get only biased news from them, so they are bullshit.  But the bias is definitely pro-war, pro-conservative.



Courage goes where the truth is.

<<sure as soon as you name one Conservative Commentator that is part of the MSM. I know of none.>>

Ever hear of Tucker Carlson?  Peggy Noonan?  Mark Steyn?  George Will?

Fox "News" is loaded with conservative commentators but I'm guessing you'd just claim that Fox is not a part of the MSM.   Still if conservative outrage can get liberals fired from CNN, how come liberal outrage can't get conservatives fired from Fox?

The simple fact is that the MSM are NOT liberal, they cheerlead every war the U.S. ever gets into by endlessly presenting sympathetic reports on American fighting men and their families, failing to challenge the lies that provoke the wars in the first place, and almost totally ignoring the carnage wreaked on the other side's civilians.

And still you have not been able to name ONE reporter fired from the MSM for being too conservative.

Um, yeah . . . I think.  . . .  Unless you're a courageous Waffen SS.    Or a dumb-ass U.S. Marine.   Or just a guy who likes to get into bar fights.  And again, your point is . . . ?  That testosterone is a truth-seeking drug?

Courage and truth are unrelated.

Hitler was a very courageous soldier in WWI. I am sure that he firmly believed in the motto "Gott Mit Uns". I am not sure of what the "truth" of WWI was. The Serbs blew up an Archduke (who probably deserved being blown up) and the Austrian-Hungarians declared war on the Serbs. So then the Russians had an alliance with their "little Slav brothers" and declared war on the Austrians, and the Germans had an alliance with the Austrians and declared war on the Russians, which brought France and England, as allies of the Russians into the war.

There should have been a better solution, like just giving the Austrians a notable Serb to shoot. But I do not think right and wrong or truth and lies has much to do with Hitler shooting at the Kaiser's enemy, or the Kaiser's enemy shooting back.

The point is that one can be brave and wrong, or cowardly and wrong, brave and  right, cowardly and right. One does not become braver just because one's cause is just. Everyone who risks their lives pretty much believes that truth is on their side. The guys who ran the gas chambers at Dachau believed that they were improving the human race by gassing all those Jews, Mongoloids, cripples,  Gypsies and leftists.
