What’s happening even this week on the campuses are a result of the liberals and how they think. but they can never see that their beliefs are a disaster. It has to always be someone else’s fault.

I was a Dem many years ago. I used to believe dopes like Egan were right. Of course, at that time there was very little conservative media, talk show hosts, and no internet. Just about everything you heard from the media was from a decidedly liberal slant.

I had to go down to the city library to find the truth. It was there in the reading room, one day in the early nineties, that I started reading something called Conservative Chronicles. It was in that publication that I started reading articles that were at variance with what the mainstream liberal media was spewing.

The CC was different. The columnists actually provided facts to support their arguments. That was the turning point for me. I realized most liberal columnists, like Egan, had been hiding the truth, and that conservative writers and talk show hosts like Limbaugh were correct. I never turned back.

The main reason that Republican politicians sound so crazy of late is because they get their information, and validation, from the twisted world of partisan media outlets."

New York Times' Timothy Egan should save some of his much vaunted 'concern' to Democrats... Democrats have LOST close to a thousand political seats of various types since Obama.

Our 'crazy' sounding guys are doing just fine.

Not that we aren't touched by Egan's phony baloney 'concern' for our well being... it's just that we think he's a liar... and the worst type - he's lying to himself.

So take your concern, pity and great compassion and shove it Timothy Egan... or give it to democrats... they need some compassion with all their loses, geriatric candidates, and FBI investigations.

Facts and truth in general are anathema to Liberals and the NYT and undermine their ideal of democracy.

[...] a create-your-own-facts media world [...]

That's Rather misdirected...

And it's a Republic - if you can keep it.

Always said the GOPe wants the Fairness Doctrine back as much as the Democrats do.

“The true media elites are in talk radio and right-wing television”

That’s right...the real ‘elites’ are on AM radio.

Blasting out 1000 watts of non-stereo power.

The ‘elites’ decided to forgo modern technology in favor of the oldest form of radio communication with the smallest audience.

If you thought the ‘elites’ would use the technology with the biggest reach and most modern appeal you’re simply a fool.
