You've nailed the mind numbed robotic lockstep of the American Media. They are like programmed zombies that only can think and respond in one certain, predictable way. They simply cannot tell the truth. They cannot just present the facts without their peculiar spin attached or, worse, they spike any truth about the story. Worse, they simply refuse to cover a story because it hurts their agenda or political friends.

At least an American that wants to be informed has the Canadian, Australian, and British Media. They have many of the same faults as their American cousins, but a glimmer of fair and original thought shines through on occasion.

The American Media idiots will slam Fox News and Talk Radio because they have become the alternative media to the brainwashed opinions of the MSM. Fox News isn't as conservative as it is painted by the rest of the MSM. What Fox News does is to offer a relief from the nonstop propaganda of the MSM: ABC/CBS/NBC/CNN/MSNBC/LAT/NYT/WaPo/Boston Globe/Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The conservative Talk Radio hosts thrive precisely because they are NOT liberal spin machines. Liberal Talk Radio programs, like Air America, have gone broke and aren't on the air because no one listened. In the television Media, both CNN and MSNBC are in a accelerating death spiral to bankruptcy. Which one will win? It's too close to call. One last thing about the penetration of the "fair and balanced” Fox News into the American Media market — Fox News is only carried on cable TV or on satellite hookup. Even with this small market share, they positively trounce the usual band of suspects on TV news.
