Whenever the cliche about "the liberal press" comes up in conservative circles, I have to recall with some amusement that in real left circles, it is taken as an absolute article of faith that the mainstream media is totally controlled by big first-world corporate capitalists, and is totally unsympathetic to the left. A natural thing, I suppose: ideologues of any stripe tend to see the world according to their own prejudice, and assume that anyone who doesn't share there views is at best biased, at worst a full-fledged member of The Evil Conspiracy. It almost makes one sympathetic toward the mainstream media. I've been feeling that way about the IMF and the World Bank lately as well, though they've never been among my most admired institutions. I just can't help feeling that anyone who is simultaneously and constantly attacked by extremists on both sides has to be doing something right.
