Why Does The MSM Treat Republicans So Good? What Can We Do?

I mean face it. Here is a few facts about Republicans that are beyond dispute.

Their ideas about smaller government suck, and hurt millions of not billions.
Their actions sabotaging Obama, and our needed recovery from Bush's disaster amounted to treason.
Practically everything they say is a lie. Period.
They encourage, and promote racism, and intolerance.
They commit voter suppression, and outright attack people's ability to vote.
Their economic ideas are insane. Total proven disaster on every level. Just look at Kansas, and Wisconsin.
They want women to have no choice on health issues.
They want to legislate morality, but they worship/serve Satan, and shame the poor instead of helping them. (un-christian)
They actively deny millions of people access to health care, which amounts to murder in my book.
They knowingly poison citizens, and then help each other cover it up, and distract us, and try to shift the blame.

Now here are just a few things just for starters. My friends on DU can probably list another 5,000 reasons why Republicans suck.

My problem is the press treats them like they are something other than lying, treasonous, zombie scum. Republicans get to babble their nonsense unchallenged in almost every case. It makes me sick. They get to own the word "conservative" when the only thing they want to conserve is the wealth of the wealthiest, and the rest of us can just go starve to death, or die of treatable diseases.

The press is actually worse than Republicans, and that is saying something......

What the hell can we do about MSM SCUM?

I have been noticing this too lately. CNN and MSNBC anchors will invite conservatives on their shows and treat them with great deference and consideration and give them full rein to spout their right wing propaganda and insult Obama or Hiliary or the entire "democrat" party. For the most part the anchors will sit meekly and helplessly - or at the most offer the most weakest of rebuttals to anything the con might say. Wolf Blitzer is one of the most notable in this regard but Anderson Cooper is not much better. CNN has some beautiful female anchors with lovely hair styles and eye makeup but they get pinned solidly to the mat whenever they attempt to banter with a republican. Several weeks ago, I watched as Ted Cruz made total mincemeat of the lovely Dana Bash and left her so stunned she just sat there blinking those enormous eyes. MSM is just totally inept.
