I started lurking at DU on election night. One of the first surprises is that they adamently believe that the media is totally in the tank for George W and Republicans in general. I kid you not!
"they adamently believe that the media is totally in the tank for George W"
I've picked up on that too. Unbelievable. If the NY Times and Washington Post are in bed with the right, just what to they consider to be left? or moderate for that matter.
Excerpt of a posting dialogue between a normal person and an entitled member of the superior intellectual "liberal" literati:
Liberal: "I don't intend to read the article until I know it's not some right-wing nut bugaboo..."
[This "liberal" wants certification that the article is not right-wing "bugaboo"!]
Normal: "...your mind is so closed and cemented-in with leftist indoctrination, even dynamite couldn't open it.
Liberal: "...similar to the many such fraudulent [contradictory] pieces you've posted here in the past."
[Reminder: This "liberal" wants certification that the article is not right-wing "bugaboo"!]
Normal: "Are you actually reluctant (AFRAID) to read anything until you can verify it is not "rightwing bugaboo"??? What is "rightwing bugaboo"? Is it equal in absurdity to "leftwing bugaboo"?
Another testimony that the "liberal academic intellengensia" suffers from acute closed-mindedness.
