We now have a cowering lapdog media that either is afraid to upset the followers of the lying, deceiving Bush administration, or is just plain in cahoots with them. Which is worse? I can't tell the difference between them and Bush's press secretary. Goebbels would be jealous with the ease that Americans are being manipulated. I don't listen to the mainline TV news any more. I don't give a shit about Michael Jackson, runaway brides and Saddam in his underpants. When are they going to get the balls to start reporting on and digging into the Downing Street memo, and other important news? Why do I have to read about the proof of Bush's deception on Iraq in the British press? Del

You do realize, that for oh, say, 8 yrs or so, the supermajority of Dems focus a small list of topics, popularly called talking points, every week and simply hammer at them and hammer at them. There is an element of brainwashing going on in the new, partisan media that is very scary, though. I don't know how we will ever resolve problems if the conservative press is pushing a whole new concept of reality about every issue. It is my opinion that your side practices far away the largest try at brainwashing, revising modern history, spinning the news, soft pedaling their breaking of laws. So, point that sentiment at your side of the aisle and I will agree with ya.

Some right wingers are very bright, and are capable of thinking for themselves. I wish more of them would visit Feelies, in fact! Perhaps more would if the ban list for Feelies weren't so clearly anti-right wingers. I happen to think that, though they can be obnoxious at times, jlallen, Lady Lurksalot, and Lazarus Long are all bright and capable of thinking for themselves. But you prohibit them from posting here. Perhaps if you made more of them welcome in fact, not just in words, your wish that more of them would visit Feelies would come true. It's really up to you, isn't it?
