Liberal media my ass
When Il Dunce gets called for violating the goddam Constitution, the media asks us if his getting caught is a political liability or, in some fucked up 'Lookig Glass Logic' way, a political gift.

When Clinton got Ms. Lewisnski's hair caught in his zipper, all we heard about was how fast until he was removed from office.

I gotcher liberal media .... right here.

1. Why can't a liberal billionaire give us "Air America Teleivsion"
..or the something along those lines?

The obvious hole in the cable lineup is that there is "Fox News" to promote the Republican Party but no channel which primarily promtes the Democratic Party.

2. I have often wondered the same thing.
Not only why no Air America Television, but why does AA have to struggle for funding at all. I just dont get it.

4. GOP didn't buy up control of broadcast media in the 80s and 90s to report
important news. They use it to spin FOR the GOP agenda and to protect BushInc.

6. Yep. Columbia Journalism Review has a MSM ownership list,
called "Who Owns What". Here's a link to it.

It's more insidious than MSM ownership though, which has been discussed here many times.
"Reality vs. perception management"

9. The "liberal media" is why we control...
both Houses of Congress and the White House and have appointed two more Supreme Court Justices... That's why it is impossible for the Republicans to win any races - they have no voices in the media. The "liberal media" is destroying this country, it is plain to see... :sarcasm:

11. Don't get me started...
Yeah, I co-host a blog dedicated to bird dogging Fox News Channel: http://www.eyesonfox.org.

In the brief time it's been going, I've run into quite a few conservative fans of Fox News Channel. As an aside, the basic idea of someone being a "fan" of a news network is totally bizarre to me. Anyhow, my blog has led me to a number of conservative sites like NewsBusters. They'll cherry-pick from the hundreds - if not thousands - of news stories each day a couple they feel are liberally biased. Heck, they could be right for all I care. Statistically, it means nothing. Media Matters does the exact same thing gleaning conservative bias so I call it a wash.

In a single day I can find just as much stuff just watching Fox News Channel. My only limitation is I work for a living and have a life so there' only so much I can post to a blog. :)
