20. Always humorous reading over there.

As grasswire has sagely pointed out, if the media is liberal, why did conservatives work to do away with the Fairness Act?

Think about it. If they were sure the media was inclined to treat them unfairly, why do away with an act requiring equal time for diffferent political views? Their hero Reagan was the one to do away with it and they have fought against having it reinstated.

No, they hate the media because it occasionally tells the truth and the truth sometimes bites them in the butt. Of course, they were also programmed to believe in the "liberal media" myth by Rush and others repeating it over and over. It was a deliberate campaign. I'm trying to remember the name of the jerk who started it (and eventually admitted that he knew it was a lie from the beginning.) I hate it when I can see a quote in my mind's eye but the name is out of focus. Can anyone here remember who that was?

I don't know how anyone with critical thinking skills can watch the media and think it's liberal.
