Yeah, I'll bite.

That label Liberal Media has always been a bit of a knotty puzzle to me. Consider that Rupert Murdoch owns USA Today and I don't know what else in the way of newspapers; that Time/Warner/AOL is heavily invested in television and radio, as is the Disney Corporation which owns ABC. Rather than state sponsored censorship, what I suspect is happening is that we have business sponsored censorship. If Tom Brokaw should dare to utter something offensive to the Corporate Brass, how long do I think he'd have his job? My suspicion is that Tom knows which side the bread is buttered on, and gives the nightly news that isn't offensive, or controversial. It's bad for Bidnez. Ratings go down, and advertising dries up. Same goes for NPR, really. They sorta flirt with the edges of progressive politics, but they realize if they get too controversial, their contributions might dry up too. Hence, I am left wondering, "How much of the picture are we really missing?"

Liberal Media? What's Rush Limbaugh? He's a media guy. What's George Will? He's a media guy. Compare Time and Newsweek to The Utne Reader Liberal Media? Where? I may not be from Missouri, but Show Me.
