It's always there, but this time of year the large media outlets just go full ham. Look at MSNBC and CNN today and the headlines are all in one direction. Go to FoxNews and the headlines are all in the other direction.

Right now you are thinking, "Everyone knows this Pete."

My questions are the reasoning behind their bias. Is it simply marketing to their consumers? Are they doing it to appease their clients that buy advertising? Do they actually have skin in the game in terms of financial arrangements to keep a certain party in office? What are the factors at play that they don't even pretend to be impartial?
