No matter what event takes place – particularly political events – all of the American news media will report the exact same information. (Occasionally, FoxNews will deviate from that – and you can tell when they do it by the howls from the Left.)
That is simply not possible unless they all have exactly the same agenda.
As others have said, “We don’t have a two party system. There is only one party and we’re not invited.”
