Liberal Media my ass...
Snapped off the NYT website.



Opinionator v Crusader. Sounds a little biased to me.

1. At this point, the U.S. media is essentially enemy propaganda. Very bad for your brain.

2. The media is big business and that tells the story
Always kill the messenger if the right news does not come out to your liking.

3. That term,
"liberal media" is used as a filter, and a catch-phrase for anything that is contrary to the Fascist, party-line disseminated by corporate media in league with the RW drones that take their capitalist catechism as absolute truth.

Propaganda is still propaganda and, so far, for thinking people, it has not been turned into lies = truth. Let's keep it that way.

4. I blame the democrats for not raising heck about this.
I told democrats that they ought to concentrate on the republicans instead of each other. See what the republicans are doing.

We need to bombard our congress with LETTERS and PHONE CALLS demanding they enable the Fairness Doctrine. We need it.

5. Is this really a fair picture of what they always run, or just a "snapshot"?
Might they, on another day, have a positive Obama article, and a negative one on the Ghoul? Or a positive one on any Dem and a negative one on any Republican?

If that's so, then this is just a snapshot of a particular day, and not indicative of their permanent editorial stance.

6. I think the Opinionator is meant to refer...
to the name of the column, not to Obama. The contents of the column may well prove your original point, however.
