If they reported all of the Repub failures and/or reminded people of their scandals they, the Repubs, would be a laughing stock. There is no drama if their aren't two parties in the story. The Repubs basically collapsed in 2006 but are kept alive by the media and gerrymandering

Oh, the media are 6 corporations. The corporations have to keep the people stupid
