How much longer will the right refer to the "liberal media?"
I can't believe how much conservative shit is out there, but all I ever hear is how "liberal" the media is. Granted, the media once probably had a left leaning bias. But that hasn't been around for a long time. Tonight I heard Joe Scarborough gleefully talking about how they found a connection between Iraq and al Queda, and how the Iraqis really do love having the US there. I almost barfed. Can anyone name ONE show that is as blatantly liberal as Fox, CNN, and many of the other shows on MSNBC are conservative? (Excluding West Wing)

1. It's a meme--disingenuous, well-used, still producing the desired effect.
And they'll use it until it no longer has a coercive impact on journalism.

2. It's the year-round equivalent of the "Christmas under attack" meme
Beating on the victim drum as loudly and as often as possible.

They'll never give it up.

3. How long did Oceania keep Emmanual Goldstein alive?
A tyranny requires enemies to maintain its focus and energy. Whether these enemies are real is beside the point.

5. So do you think it would work for the Democrats if we
blasted the media daily with accusations of being rw?

I often wondered why our leadership never tried this...I guess they are just too fat and lazy.
