The risk of course is that the credibility of such media suffer. Preaching to the choir may make the ideologues in the audience happy, but in my opinion it is not the best way to increase circulation or viewership.

HUH? We can take any law and tie it into a knot. We actually have people who study how to do it we call them attorneys. There is intent of a law. That is decided in court.
Rulings establishes legal precedent.
As far as news, information that people vote on. Who owns the news is a topic many should read about. According to my reading, yes, every article has the bias of the writer and or the source-that is the problem. In any case what I've read was that in the 1960s
there were fifty major owners of news. Today, it is five. Of the five four have a left wing bias.
Fair news? For most of us it is news that agrees with our bias.
