"At a time when simply having a conservative Democrat spar with a conservative Republican is enough to earn the tag 'fair and balanced,' the fact is that the political blogs are dominated by the hard right."


What exactly is the "hard right"? As far as I can tell the "hard right" is anyone who does not fall lockstep into the marxist or socialist mindset of the left.

This sounds like what Bill O'Reilly was shoveling earlier tonight. While channel-surfing tonight, I saw him wringing his hands over bloggers who face no accountability for lying and other misconduct, unlike media people like him. Yeah, right! The MSM is a cesspool of liberal thugs. For them, getting fired requires serious effort. The only people who are holding the MSM accountable are the members of the public who are sick and tired of their flat-out lying and liberal slant of every issue of the day. The way to hold them accountable is to quit buying their garbage tabloid tripe, and we're doing it!

Yep-for what he said about Pat Tillman. May he look over his shoulder for the rest of his miserable existence.

Let's all go easy on Ted Rall. It isn't easy for a severely brain-damaged idiot like that to make a living on his own and I give him credit for trying.

"I'm not aware of any restrictions on liberals from posting their own blogs."

Good observation!

It's the same scenario with Fox News vs. ABCCNNNBCCBS...it appears that in the free marketplace of ideas, left wing ideology doesn't hold up too well.

You're not getting a monthly Vast Right Wing Conspiracy check direct from Karl Rove? You must have missed the sign-up.

Part of what's going on here, is that for an idiot like Rall, even the mainstream media is "on the right". Therefore blogs and FNC and talk radio are "hard right", in that worldview.

...the fact is that the political blogs are dominated by the hard right.

Too bad that the Leftist political blogs are dominated by semi-literates who would rather "feel" than deal in hard facts...

I wonder if ted rall and michael jackson have anything in common??
