Whispers on the Open Road: 'Liberal media' as elusive as Bigfoot in rural West

You see and hear a lot of things out on the open road. Second only to Sasquatch, one of the most elusive rural beasts stalking the big open is the mythical “liberal media.”

Oh, sure, it is purported to lurk but, save for coming within range of public radio, seldom is heard a discouraging word challenging the constant thrum of commentary heard in the voices of Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck, Savage, Ingram and others.

Over and over again, their interpretation of reality is jack-hammered into the skull, feeding into the whirlpool of a constant feedback loop of “information” that, were it ever actually subjected to serious rebuttal, would ever hold up.

Climate change = hoax invented by the Chinese. Obama = born in Kenya and involved with conspiracy to overthrow capitalism. Democrats = godless because their Jesus is different from ours. Women advocating for equal standing in the workplace = femi-Nazis. Wolves = wiping out ranchers, threatening children at bus stops and decimating our big game herds.

They're invisible to pickup truck driving muggles, mostly.
