If the media is now Liberal


Which we know it isn’t. Then what ungodly horror does the right have in store for us? Think about this for a moment the right-wing positions the right-of-center media as being left-of-center so that when the media moves editorially they move further to the right. Then the right-wing accuses them of be centrist. Too devious, too convoluted? Think about this, the right wing is unseating a duly elected governor for not balancing the budget. All the while the president is running up an historic deficits. That is devious and convoluted.

1. Ah, but THAT's different.
Not sure how, but I bet Rush would tell me if I asked him.

2. The NYT ran a great article yesterday about how
the major networks are crashing and burning. They better get their notebooks back out and start really reporting or they are going to lose to cable and the internet, finito, caput. The general public realizes that their view, especially with regards to the casualties in Iraq, are not being represented by the talking heads.

Yes it is a trick and the entity behind it is money. So far CBS is the first on the bandwagon to shift back into the center with their blasting of Bush a couple times in the last month.

If the media were liberal, Bush would have been impeached by now and would be in the middle of trials for treason and war crimes. Until that happens, the liberal media is a myth.

3. Unfortunately, Bush won't be impeached
because the House of Representatives and the Senate are in solidly Republican hands.

a Red Ink Republican when it does. I have a hunch that America really is Progressive and not fundlementalist and when it (America) figures it out, these "Freepers" will be held in pretty low esteem. Right issss Right after all. :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:
