Excellent article! My sentiments exactly.
But I disagree about one thing: The Corrupt Liberal Media DOES in fact realize that it is fighting for its life now. I expect to see some networks begin to lean back towards the middle, if not right. But I expect to see many more stations turn into "WB"-type networks as their incomes and ratings continue to tank. They'll probably keep their influence in the cities where broadcasting can still be profitable for them, but main street America has almost completely turned them off.
What's next is that moderate outfits like Fox will increase their major inroads into historical CRM country.
The irony of this is that the MSM entities that forfeited their credibility in order to libel GWB apparently didn't consider that doing so would be ineffective.
You say, "The Corrupt Liberal Media DOES in fact realize that it is fighting for its life now. I expect to see some networks begin to lean back towards the middle, if not right."
Guess again - have you even looked at USA today articles on the election. Many of them are slam jobs and this paper is not alone.
Believe me, the press will ride Bush harder than ever. Rather than try to meet us in the middle they are determined to prove to us that they were right and we are stupid. Don't believe for a minute that these partisan sledgehammers are going to change their tune.
"I expect to see some networks begin to lean back towards the middle, if not right."
All I ask for is that they get in the middle, or more accurately, be neutral. Report the news, don't invent it.
If something legitimately wrong is done (even if it were our side), then report the facts and nothing else.
Let us decide.
