1. AAAAhhhhh beeeautiful!!! Thank You! One of the very first

serious political arguments that I was thoroughly educated enough to win, was stymied when my opponent pulled out the liberal bias card. Totally pissed me off. So I went home and made a list of all the openly liberal vs. con news people, added a couple of articles pointing out the absurdity of "liberal bias" etc. etc., and gave it to him. His only answer was "You're weird". It totally fried me that even my sanity was questioned if the facts didn't agree w/me.

So the long and short is thanks for that. I truly appreciated it...

3. DrDuffy, you may be interested in this piece. . .

This is something Bartcop wrote quite some years ago (www.bartcop.com). It still applies:


CBS's Bernard Goldberg has written an expose on the liberal media entitled
Bias: A CBS Insider Exposes How the Media Distort the News

This is a good example of smart writing and even better marketing.
If Goldberg had written the truth, that the media is nothing but right-wing pimps working for Bush,  if would sell about as many copies as Fortunate Son and be withdrawn from book stores right away.

But since he's selling the LIE that left-wingers control the media, something very different will happen to Mr. Goldberg and his book.

He'll get to go on:

The Rush Limbaugh show where they'll say conservatives have no voice in the media.
The Bill O'Reilly show where they'll say conservatives have no voice in the media.
The Sean Hannity show where they'll say conservatives have no voice in the media.
