I do not think that is the case here in Massachusetts. The media around here has been largely consistent over the years. I think that it seems so however to many because the liberalsm epidemic has certainly spread. As far as I am concerned we can thank the teachers unions and certain media types.
The growth of alternate news sources has seriously demonstrated the extraordinary subjectiveness that many so called journalists have been engaged in. They have been caught finally, and they can only wish that there will be a return to the good old days. There won't be.
The Internet is a revolution, and the media in many ways is freaking out about that. The music recording industry, the movie industry, and the news industry are suffering under a phenomenon commonly known as outsourcing. Perhaps there is a better term. It is in any case, largely due to their own incompetence and poor business plans. Other industries will inevitably also be impacted. I for one would like to get on board and ride this wave of the future.
Personally, I think it is good news, and FreeRepublic.com may suffer challenges, but in the end once the smoke clears, it (FR.com) will likely be a very powerful force to be reckoned with. Better days are coming once persons with influence come to recognize this. Hearts and minds will truly be changed because of rational discourse, and civilized debates, etc.
I have no sympathy for those who cannot see this obvious fact.
Once, and only if, Bush is re-elected, we need to carefully study the lessons of the Swiftboat Vets - and forcefully and consistently drive home the concept of values to the American people.
Paranthetically, if Kerry is elected - I'm getting the hell outta here until the idiocy is proved to the numbskulls that put him in. It could be fatal to America - but best to take the lead of people who got out of Germany before Hitler "solved" everything. Anybody But Bush....and Anybody But the Weimar Republic. History is recursive.
But...we can't keep looking forward to the next election, compromising our values and logic itself to convince dipsh@t sentimentalist soccer clods to vote for the only thing that will keep the wolves from decimating their stupid asses. I'm getting tired of bending over backwards to appease those too stupid to look after their own best interests, just so we can win the NEXT election. Sometimes you gotta lay down the facts.
