The fact that they do not have a mass following is neither here nor there.

We all know liberals exist, after all the majority voted for the more liberal candidate in the last election. They are systematicly excluded from media exposure by the owners of the giant conglomerates like ClearChannel, News Corp., and the Unification Church. It is very much here and there when their voices are relegated to page 52 of print media while the right wing view is shouted 24/7 from every publicly granted airwave.

... I was thinking of how liberal executives at Big Media organizations manipulate opinion by stacking op-ed pages with liberal columnists. The New York Times editorial page has seven regular columnists. Six are avowed liberals and one is a "moderate" republican. The Boston Globe, like their parent, has just one token conservative on the op-ed page to go along with six proud liberals. The LA Times, WP and Tribune are all overweight with liberal columnists as well.

Pinch and Howell and crowd need to keep up with their Columbia academic counterparts at the Manhattan Club, you know.
