Talk Radio. Dominated by Conservatives like Rush Limbaugh. Leftists try to get a toe-hold in this rich land, but have had little luck. Al Franken is more an object of derision than a mobilizer of grass-root opinions.
Blogs. Dominated by Conservatives who played a large part in re-electing George Bush. Leftists try to get attention, but no one listens to their whining.
TV News. Whupped by Fox, the Leftist stations (ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, PBS) just don't get the numbers. Their viewership declines while the Conservative stations thrive.
Conclusion: A truly objective MSM will continue to "speak truth to power" and attack all proposals coming from the Bush Administration, while simultaneously gushing over the enlightened policies put forth by Dean, Clinton, and Kerry.

Why Rathergate and Easongate Are Still Open -- the MSM and particularly the networks are broadcasting OLD news. By the time NBC, CBS, or ABC do their nightly "news" the news is out of date. All three have the same source of information. I and ANYONE can get the entire content directly off the AP or wires from drudge in five minutes. The only difference between them is the hairstyles.
