Yeah, thanks to FR we've figured out you have the same problem with the Urinalists of the Lame Stream Media that we do. They and the "Effete Elite Intelligegensia" together do cause an awful commotion for both of us.
Since we both started out as British Crown Colonies for "undesirables" and "opportunists" a nice way back then to say scoundrels and flim-flam (con) man;
Tell me cousin, how did Howard fare in the election? Just how bad of a hissy fit over his win are the "Urinalists" and the "Effete Elite Intelligegensia" throwing?
I do like it,
re the eyebrows, the man, John Howard PM!
Fantastic: Howard has now won 4 elections in a row! Thats in 9 years. Factors are;
1. baby boomer demographic (an older an more mature electorate - diehard hippies and 'undergrads' are still there of course and its a fine balance but with each election - 3 year terms here- we get closer to having a natural conservative majority... same as the USA... the baby boomers are growing up and watching their mortgages)
2. incredible shrinking act that was Trade Unionism (funding foundation of the Labor Party (like DNC). Their union fees are high, their morality near criminal and hedonist... and their influence dwindling.
3. re the MSM reaction, its 'a shock' and 'unexpected'. This is to excuse their almost partisan blanket push for the left or to disguise their predicament; ie they believe their own propaganda.
Now this MSM reaction/crisis du jour is all very interesting...Someone did their homework re the Fox News growth in the USA. The CEO read the surveys and followed the money to the consumer's more balanced worldviews. Here, as in the USA, the post-grads and journo types are rabid pro-left since -by and large- the professers indoctrinate them as per Gramsci. A questionaire on current affairs/survey of employed news journos, editors and producers and an identical survey for the man-in-the-street revealed the wide ideological divide. Percentage wise, the pro-abortion, pro-recreational drug, pro-homosexual, pro UN, pro Kyoto, pro-Europe, pro-Palestinian (sic) support was near homogenous a people and a sub-culture all on their own for sure. Of course the man-in-the-street (and MSM consumer) was way more balanced and conservative. You could mirror the survey outcome surveying undergrads and the man-in-the-street just as easily and just as validly.
