Al, Nor would you argue that their message is not filled with outwardly spoken divisiveness? Anne called half the US treasonous. Rush regularly calls that same 1/2 stupid. Ditto for Sean. Apparently you'd rather listen to the leftist portrayal of Coulter, Limbaugh, and Hannity than listen to them directly. Anne gets a little extreme at times, but Rush has never called one half of America "stupid." He'll get all riled up if callers start echoing the party line of the DNP, but that's about it. He has constantly focused his attacks not at "rank and file liberals" as he calls them, but at the leaders of the party and the candidates. Sean is even less extreme than Rush (which IMO explains why so many women call into his show). Show me the "liberal" CNN, NYT, etc..equivalent of this kind of dirt. References to "it's still the economy, stupid" within CNN's so-called unbiased journalism. Howell Raines allowing Jayson Blair to make up facts as he went along in order to push some "politically correct" agenda. Peter Jennings virtually mocking the "Search for Jesus" by giving much more face time to those who had already decided it was all a fraud. And that's just off the top of my head. The bias is subtle most of the times, but that's because the purpose of these media outlets is to report the news, not give commentary. Look, I don't whine about it like Anne Coulter does, simply because I think there a certain progressiveness in becoming a journalist or political commentator. For years, being progressive was equated to being liberal, but it seems liberalism has become so institutionalized that the rise of conservatives like Rush and Sean is only natural. I have noticed a troubling tendency your posts.... increasingly they focus on the personal "observations", rather than the issues....YOUR "center of gravity" has shifted towards the subtle personal cheap shots. Why do you suppose that is? Just pointing out that your definition of "fair and balanced" is about as far off as FOXNews' definition, though in the other direction. That was the point of my "center of gravity" statement. And don't pretend that I'm not focusing on the issues, because the viewpoint IS the issue. For example, it's the only way to explain how we view Hillary's "Bush Knew" stunt in totally different ways. Personally, I think it's a subtle cheap shot at us conservatives when you complain about those who complain about liberal bias in the media. Tenchusatsu
