No. They are no longer required to do that after the removal of the fairness doctrine. Oddly many conservatives on this board were in favor of its removalYou think that they present both sides objectively?
There haven't been neutral news programs since Walter Cronkite did the news.ABC, NBC, and CBS are considered mainstream. They’re supposed to be neutral. Obviously they’re not
The "mess" is in the eyes of Republicans and Republican media.
85% of Democrats are celebrating.
The difference between a conspiracy theory and the truth is usually about 3 years.Is anyone old enough to remember when it was deemed a "right-wing conspiracy theory" that Democrats would pull Biden off the ticket at the last minute?

You truly believe that the right-wing media was totally complicit when the reported that Biden was sharp and unaffected by declining cognitive skills? Is the right-wing media really that incompetent? Personally, I don't think so. BTW, the NY papers had lots of stories over the last few months.
WHAT REALLY IS YOUR ISSUE?
Shouldn't you be celebrating your belief that independents now know the truth and will reject the Democrats in the coming election?
Or, are you really upset that Trump won't have an easy win over Biden?
Or, do you believe that had Biden dropped out earlier, Trump could have had an easier opponent than Harris?
I suspect that you just don't believe Trump, who for months has said that Harris would be even easier to beat than Biden. [BTW, that's also what the polls said].
I also suspect that you don't believe the nonsense about the "mess" that has resulted, given that Harris already has pledges of support from almost everyone including a majority of elected delegates. The 2024 convention will show the Democrats even more united then in 2020.

believe as you willActually, recent polling shows that only 54% of Democrats think that Biden was right to drop out of the race. But I'm sure the other 46% will shut up and get in line soon enough.
Democratic respondents were slightly less approving of his decision, with 54% saying he made the right choice and 33% saying he made the wrong choice. Twelve percent were undecided.
Who do you favor then? I am still most likely 3rd party.Apparently you've mistaken me for someone who cares about Trump's political prospects.

Sixty-two percent of voters think President Biden dropping out of the presidential race is the right thing to do, while 27 percent think it is the wrong thing to do. Democrats 54 - 33 percent think Biden dropping out is the right thing to do.![]()
2024 Race: Trump vs. Harris Too Close To Call, Trump Slightly Ahead In 6-Way Race, Quinnipiac University National Poll Finds; 62% Say Biden Dropping Out Of Race Right Thing To Do | Quinnipiac University Poll
"The dramatic reset at the top of the Democratic ticket does little to move the race as Vice President Harris enters the fray with numbers similar to President Biden," said Quinnipiac University Polling Analyst Tim Malloy.poll.qu.edu
I do apologize, I thought that your diatribes against Biden came from someone who favors Trump. I apologize for my error.Right now, no one. I genuinely feel like it's a no-win situation.
well, yaRight now, no one. I genuinely feel like it's a no-win situation.
Evil has been determined against this nation . And if my people who are called by His name would repent , cry out to HIM .I do apologize, I thought that your diatribes against Biden came from someone who favors Trump. I apologize for my error.
I believe that many Americans have cried out for a choice other than two 80-year olds. Now those folks have someone to vote for. Of course, as before, they still could stay at home or vote 3rd party, allowing others to make the choice that they will be living with for four years.

The Democrats are in a HUGELY, HUGELY better situation than a couple of weeks ago.
Trump might win, but the Republicans won't win the House. We will have the balance of power that it especially necessary in these partisan times.
