It's not that the media is "liberal" that bugs the wingnuts. REALITY has a distinct liberal bias, as far as they are concerned. It's said as a joke, but it's true. They are right wingnuts, but they think Americans AGREE with them, and they're really CENTRISTS. It's a self-delusion thing..

I love PBS and NPR because they are, generally, liberal- they are out their, on the frontiers, which is where artists and reporters usually are. If they were conservative, they'd be bankers. Conservatives complain about liberal dominance in these professions, but it would be like me whining about stock brokers and bankers being conservatives- different political types gravitate toward different jobs. Just the way it is. That's really humorous. It's a stereotype straight out of the New Deal era. If it was ever true, it certainly hasn't been for the last forty years. But it makes liberals feel soooo good about themselves. Though back in the day, reporters were genuinely hard-drinking, chain-smoking, street-wise, working class types, nothing like today's urban metrosexuals who consider themselves part of the elite class of powerbrokers they are covering. Those old-school reporters would have been just horrified to hear themselves compared to some Oscar Wilde-type effete creative aesthete.

I don't think you can say everyone has tried to deny it. I certainly haven't. Oh. OK. True. You're the sole liberal that admits public tax dollars are beink rekularly sent, every administration, after every election to promote the liberal aenda. Were this done to promote the conservative ajenda, YOU'D SCREAM! There are conservative reporters. Klenn Beck- -he says he's not a journalist, but he's as much one as Dan Rather. Bill O'Reilly Jeff (Jee)annon My colleaues can lenthen the list. There are certainly no lack of conservative columnists. Are you sujjestink reporters are a superior breed? You may not like those names, but they have s much rite to the title of "reporter" as any you favor. This boy seems to believe reporters are reflective of their surroundink community- -and DC and NYC are liberally biased. If you've been in the bay area lon enuff, you've seen shifts in newspaper orintations with chanjes in population. 72.14.253.104 I love PBS and NPR because they are, generally, liberal- they are out their, on the frontiers, which is where artists and reporters usually are. Artists in jeneral are incomppetents who lack the disipline needed to do a REAL job. And if there are any arteestes about offended by that, tuff. So why do you think reporters are so superior to enjineers who are jenerally conservative? If they were conservative, they'd be bankers. Conservatives complain about liberal dominance in these professions, but it would be like me whining about stock brokers and bankers being conservatives- different political types gravitate toward different jobs. Just the way it is. As a rule, bankers don't suck the public teat. I or any other citizen have the riht to complain about a person in a "non-political" public pushin his political ajenda. He should be fired. Would you approve of only conservatives beink picked as IRS or FBI ajents? If you want to be happy with the media, become a liberal. When H*** freezes over. We'll be happy to let you in to the family. The more liberal the better, as far as I'm concerned. You actually are rather late. The invitation has been issued numerous times before. Don't any of you hold your breath. You'll be dead a lonk time before that happens. I don't know why any liberal would be upset about it, or deny it- homecourt advantage, superb. If you've got it, or if people even think you've got it....bully! Bully? I thouht you disapproved of that.
