To: hope
All,

I have just finished reading Brent Bozell's new book. I frankly was a bit disappointed.

Yes, the book is well written and engaging. And it amply documents the problem. But it doesn't spend much time talking about how the "mainstream" media is going to collapse.

Besides, I already knew most of the things documented in the book. So I didn't learn much. One exception to this was the story of how then Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris told the Media one week before the election to be careful about calling Florida before the folks in the panhandle voted. As most Freepers already know, this move cost Bush thousands of votes.

But this book could be useful for figuratively (or literally if you get violent) beating Liberals or clueless Moderates over the head when discussing Media Bias.

Actually, this book shows that bias isn't the real problem. It is the active collusion of news media folks with partisan causes.

Bingo! Media collusion, media fraud, media hoaxes. And I'm tired of the phrase "liberal bias." These people aren't liberals, they're socialists and communists. The coming election will be a referendum on the media more than it will be one on the respective candidates.
