While I don't know the truth of these allegations, do you really believe that this idea that the media at times covers for the establishment is a right wing idea? Plenty of leftists say the same thing.

We all know the media will barely make a peep about Franken and Biden. Well... the non-Fox News/Breitbart/The Blaze media at least.
They have a job to do, make as big of a divide as possible, and that means being as blatantly biased as possible. As long as they do that they will make liberals look bad by association. Same goes for the right leaning outlets in the eyes of the left, the more biased they are the more it pushes the left further to the left.
You guys are eating this stuff up.
I'm going to have to go ahead and disagree with you there. When Weinstien was outed the liberal media had no problems reporting on his activities and allegations. I imagine that if there is any truth to these Infowar claims (HUGE mark against their veracity right of the start there) then the liberal media will report on them. I'm sure it won't be as extensive as the right, but saying they won't report on them at all is just buying into the silly media narrative that the right is trying to sell you (and you are ironically trying to out in your post).
Both do cover for their side with some exceptions. However, what I was referring to is that there also is an establishment that has both sides that will cover at times for wall st and war. They come together at times. This may be true regarding some elite politicians too. An example is that even on the right they talked about Benghazi and Clinton, but didn't cover much bigger issues such as Obama and Clinton's proxy wars in Libya and Syria. Or it was framed as not that.

Hmmm? What are you talking about? Both sides cover for their respective establishments. The right covers for Trump so much that they are practically dating. The left covered for Obama like a rabid fangirl. I'm just saying that things aren't so lopsided that the left won't out their side too. I see the left wing media respect opinionated journalism more than the right. But I've also seen the right report on their dirty laundry, it just usually comes with some way to blame the democrats for it. I have far less respect for right leaning media for this reason.
