Excellent point, we have recognized over the last few years and particularly in the last 16 months since the 2004 Election the MSM has gone quite "bonkers". If you are strong enough to stomach listening to the left wing "hate Bush/Republican Radio", you will notice that the MSM are sounding more and more like that ilk, and less and less like real Newsmen. It is no wonder that the Left wing Radio is having a really serious problem trying to stay afloat. When you have the Left wing MSM sounding as nasty, rotten, negative,biased and making up things as they go along,why would you tune in to Left wing talk Radio? Just watch any of the Network Programs of the Alphabet Networks, and listen to NPR. By the same token, the left wing Radio guys that sound like DUmmies wrote their scripts are taking away from the MSM because they are Competition. It really becomes comical watching how much farther they will go before the men in the white coats take them away while they are frothing at the mouth.
You can add the politicians into that group also
Harry Reid is calling the President a Loser and Pat Leahey is calling him King George
Heck .. there are even a few of them writing blogs over at the Daily Kos
