Subject: RE: BS: Taking Back the US from Neo-cons
Great, now I'm a disdainful McCarthyite and DougR peddles penis enlargements. And you say WE'RE not thinking? Great attack on ideological merits. As for media being corporate owned? Well, duh! Who doesn't know that?
With the exception of Fox News, can you name one major media outlet that trends conservative? Turner Broadcasting? Surely you're familiar with it's less than conservative (ha) namesake- TED TURNER?!?

I'm not arguing that the media isn't corporate owned. I'm just saying that the Stephanopolouses, Rathers, Brokaws, Jenningses, Kings (as in Larry), Helen Thomases, et al. have been the major media mouthpieces for a very long time and they all trend liberal or at least left of center. I would say you have very little to complain about unless you're really distressed by the major network evening news turning into news magazines.
