Strawman News Network

Democrat and Republican leaning news networks have pundits from the opposing perspective on their networks to appear as though they are being objective. But this is false advertising, orchestrated to make their point of view seem superior.

Their arguments appear better, but only by comparison because both sides have poor arguments. They allege to show both sides of an issue, but in reality all they're doing is showing how dumb and biased both sides are on every issue. You rarely see left or right wing media inviting libertarians onto their shows because neither Republicans nor Democrats would have any chance of beating them in a debate. They have no answers for libertarian arguments.

Left and Right wing media both create a bubble where they argue with weak strawmen from the other side to make their own side look better. They face no real arguments and critical debate from objective libertarians. Fox News criticizes CNN and MSNBC and vice versa, but they each do so from a hypocritical perspective. They are all biased in different areas, cover for their side, and are unable to defend their party’s foibles.

The mainstream pretends libertarians don't exist because then the public would easily see their arguments are superior, illuminating just how equally corrupt Democrats and Republicans truly are.
