That could suggest Republicans did have some reason to beef about press bias. Ok. This Jefferson suggestion is interesting:
President Thomas Jefferson, 1801–1809, was the target of many venomous attacks. He advised editors to divide their newspapers into four sections labeled "truth," "probabilities," "possibilities," and "lies," and observed that the first section would be the smallest and the last the largest. In retirement he grumbled, "Advertisements contain the only truths to be relied on in a newspaper."[5]
In 1861, Federal officials identified newspapers that supported the Confederate cause and ordered many of them closed.[6]
In the 19th century, the accessibility of cheap newspapers allowed the market to expand exponentially.[7] Cities typically had multiple competing newspapers supporting various political factions in each party. To some extent this was mitigated by a separation between news and editorial. News reporting was expected to be relatively neutral or at least factual, whereas editorial sections openly relayed the opinion of the publisher. Editorials often were accompanied by editorial cartoons, which lampooned the publisher's opponents.[8]
[... to today ...]
In November 1969, Vice President Spiro Agnew made a landmark speech denouncing what he saw as media bias against the Vietnam War. He called those opposed to the war the "nattering nabobs of negativism."[21]
Starting in the 21st century, social media became a major source of bias, since anyone could post anything without regard to its accuracy. Social media has, on the one hand, allowed all views to be heard, but on the other hand has provided a platform for the most extreme bias.[7]
In 2010, President Obama said that he believed the viewpoints expressed by Fox News was "destructive for the long-term growth" of the United States.[22]
In 2014, Pew Research Center found that the audience of news was polarized along political alignments.[23]
In late 2015, Donald Trump started his campaign while addressing his concern with the media, calling some information relayed in the media, "fake news." This came shortly after the media began to critique Trump's statements. Information circulated regarding Trump's previous sexual comments made about women.[24]
2016 and onward, reports concerning "fake news" became more prominent. Social media played a big part in this and it is thought that the use of social media during the Presidential election played a large role in the election of Donald Trump.[7]
Today if there wasn't some editorial bias against the Republican Party that would reflect a real threat to rational thought and to American democracy. The GOP being as authoritarian Trump orientated and as Trump=QAnon cratered as they are.
