This must be a joke.
CNN is hiring two ultra-right commentators, Tweety just likened OBL to Michael Moore and debuted a new segment wherein an all right wing group of hosts passes judgment on the week's events, FOX continues to pump out garbage despite staggering documentation of inaccuracies and fallacies believed by viewers.

Yeah, we have a liberal media problem all right. As in there is no such thing.

3. Peggy Noonan did an article today where she declared
the liberal press dead. So let's just monitor the far right's ride to fascism.

Guess what, we won't patronize them and we'll let them shrivel up and die.

4. Exactly, don't patronize them anymore ~ let them die off like the dinosaur
they are. I think they ended any hope that there was even a spark of professionalism left anywhere, this week.

We have the money, the power to stop the lies. They ignore petitions, emails, phonecalls. They send out their nonsensical 'we cannot respond to all the emails we get' etc. Well, let's make sure they get so few, they will have no problem answering them in the future.

But money, that's what really talks, and if everyone who despises what they have become, stops funding them, that will tell them what they, in their little bubbles don't get, we are in the MAJORITY! We have waited way too long to take the serious steps that should have taken when they started lying about the war in Iraq.

Chris Matthews and the WaPo, and CNN crossed a line this week. They keep testing to see how much we'll take. I sincerely hope they get their answer now ~

Today, a friend of mine said she saw a banner, way up high on a pole, that said the word 'IMPEACH'. She said everyone knew what it meant. No one objected in an area which is pretty rightwing. The people are the media. They are getting the truth out, in spite of the media whores who are beginning to sound old, and tired to more and more people.

8. There never was a "liberal press"...........
it was another of the famous "talking points" (lies) that was foisted upon the American public during the Clinton Administration.

"And even William Kristol, without a doubt the most influential Republican/neoconservative publicist in America today, has come clean on this issue. "I admit it," he told a reporter. "The liberal media were never that powerful, and the whole thing was often used as an excuse by conservatives for conservative failures."

http://www.thenation.com/doc/20030224/alterman2

So the "liberal media" myth was nothing more than a creation of the Repiglickens to cover up their own failures. But like any of the current White House lies, if you scream if loud and often enough, it becomes the "truth".
