2. I just noticed that too.
I hadn't turned on the teevee since this AM when I shut it off due to the Ice Queen.

I flip it back on and there she is! ARGH!

3. Have you not seen the Media Consolidation Charts?
We used to have 50 media companies with diverse ownership and owners' preferences.

Now we have FIVE media conglomerates owned by Republicans whose preferences have been very clear, especially in these past 7 years.

To read a very detailed analysis of the right wing campaign to push our media to the right, please check out Eric Alterman's book, What Liberal Media? It details the extensive consistent campaign run by right wing think tanks and media conglomerates. Calling the media liberal is "playing the ref" -- accuse them of that and they'll bend over backward to prove it isn't so. That has worked very well.

4. This is a good thing!
The more people that listen to that crap, the better it will be for Obama and the dems.

Here's your "CONTACT THE MEDIA NOW" friendly Assistant! DO SOMETHING!
Whether it is the Push to skew towards McCain, plain ol' GOP bias, blatant sexism, ugly racism, or just totally incorrect reporting.....give media a piece of your mind!

Drop a tip on a good story to our "friends", holler at the biased ones, write a letter to the editor of newspapers!

Don't just get pissed; do something!
