I disagree with the premise of this article on three counts (at least): 1) It isn't the media, it's the left wing agenda that conservatives think is the enemy. 2) The left wing doesn't have to develop a comparable media infrastructure, [apparently out of a hope that one is not needed] because it already owns one. It's not a myth, and this article is just one more example of the fact. 3) The core of the ... ... “liberal media” case is that [conservatives believe] surveys have shown that a majority of journalists vote Democratic in presidential elections. The proof is in the pudding. What we see when we turn on the tube. What we read when we pick up the morning paper. Conservatives couldn't care less how journalists vote. It's what they WRITE that is the problem. I blame my own generation. We're the ones (well, not me and people I run with, but a notable portion of our generation) who thought it was fine to smoke pot, trip out on LSD, interfere with the lawful activities of others, run off to Canada to avoid our lawful obligations, and burn down buildings that house things we don't agree with. We're the ones who created this great schism, bub, because it sure wasn't the Greatest Generation. They were too busy staying alive long enough to eat their next can of olive-drab Spam. Let's just call a spade a spade, OK? Our foreign affairs are complicated when people like Michael Moore feel free to rabble rouse over in Cannes with their out-of-context documentary drivel. It makes it harder for the United States to prevail against terrorists, and it gives the terrorists reason to believe they can scare us like they did the Philippines. So don't tell me that there is a myth when I can see the bias with my own two eyes every time I turn on network TV or read a local newspaper. Even Ted Koppel, who I once thought was even handed, was pleading the liberal case last night on Night Line.
