Like Fox News? Or MSNBC? Or perhaps the McLaughlin Group? Radio entertainers trying to pass themselves off as policy pundits and their programs as legitimate forums for policy debate by and for informed, knowledgeable thinkers of the day--like Rush Limbaugh? Or Imus, perhaps?

You appear to me to be one of the right wing "liberal media" conspiracy theorist nutcases, Spartacus. A man who follows the party line, rather than thinks critically for himself. Which is why you don't like the Dixie Chicks. The Dixie Chicks did your commander and thief wrong, and that was it for you. End of discussion.

The only result of you declaring that you need not examine your knee jerk "beliefs" (I'd call it brainwashing, myself) and what The Party tells you to believe about the vast left wing "liberal media" conspiracy, is that you not only will not have the last word, but nothing you say will be taken seriously by many thoughtful, critical thinking people anyway. People like Natalie Maines, certainly.
