I agree that the Leftist Media is wed to Clinton because of their unwavering support of him since he received the Democratic nomination in '92. However, IMHO, their blind allegiance is derived from a much deeper sense of self-preservation. I believe it's all about Power, and the Effete Elite's unimpeded access to the Powerful!!
Please let me explain--I've been thinking about this for a long time!! A National Media requires National issues and National stories to maintain and attract a National Audience. Until FDR's Collectivist Agenda was enacted in the late-30's, folks in Des Moines didn't really give much of a hoot about what was happenin' in Cambridge, Tampa, LA, or Washington, DC...why should they, as most of the news that affected their day-to-day lives was local? But as the National Media Moguls came into power--first thru Radio, then with TeeVee--their needs correlated closely with the desires of a growing Washington Ruling Class to come up with National Solutions to the issues that Americans had always dealt with locally, or at a State Level. World War II also played a part in this as it demonstrated the apparent effectiveness of a National Effort. For almost 60 years, the National Media and the Power-hungry proponents of an ever-growing Federal Leviathan worked in unison--the Media stirring up the fears of the Sheeple with the various "crisis-du-jours", and the Federal Guv'ment stepping in with the solution-du-jour.
However, as always happens with Collectivist solutions to problems, the problems just got worse, which was just fine with the Federal Guv'ment who simply called for even more Federal programs. And the National Media continued to play along, until in 1994 when the GOP took control under the auspices of reducing the size and scope of the Federal Guv'ment...and EMPOWERING States, Localities and Individuals. This scares the Hell out of the Effete Elite Media!! If each State is responsible for their own State's performance, who's gonna wanna watch a National News Program dealing with Delaware's latest Education Initiative?! Yep, only folks from Delaware would give a rat's arse...and they can get that news from a Local TeeVee Network!!
The way I see it, the National Networks NEED Big Federal Guv'ment just as much as Big Guv'ment depends on the Lame-Stream Media...and to Hell with the fact Big Guv'ment doesn't work and woe upon anyone who would try to upset their Vile Conspiracy against the bests interests of the American Sheeple!!!
Sorry to ramble on...MUD
P.S. And don't think for a minute that Ted Turner's New World Order thinking isn't linked to his need to expand his CNN Power Base beyond our borders!!

See, I can't play these because I stopped listening to music in 1971.
I thought Pearl Jam was that yech stuff that gets bbetween your toes when you walk in the rain too long.
Well then, I will need to remember to ping you to some of my FReeps of 60's songs, my FRiend.
"I thought Pearl Jam was that yech stuff that gets between your toes when you walk in the rain too long."
LOL...I think that may be how this band got their name...this was the first song of theirs I ever listened to, let alone FReeped. I like a lot of their stuff now.

Hehehe
Add me to your ping list and I'll try to keep up... :)
It still pisses me off to this day...Lefty DemonRATS still insist that he was a great President except fer his personal life, but we know he was a Traitor who sold our National Security to the Chi-Coms and refused to bring Osama bin Laden to justice despite multiple opportunities!!
9/11/01 will always be Clinton's Legacy, until if/when the Chi-Coms use the nukes they bought from Clinton on America or our allies.
FReegards...MUD
BTW...RE-IMPEACH. CONVICT. DETHRONE.
DISBAR. DE-PENSION. DE-LEGITIMIZE.
INDICT. CONVICT. IMPRISON. DISCARD KEY.

Let us pray that we can reverse some of the damage

And indict Bill's goons...then WE'LL IMPRISON SLICK!!
Yes, Limbaugh's sellin' TRUTH 'bout Slick's TREASON!!
Left's poltroons, they know, Right'll be FReepin' the Net!!

Mudboy Slim and the Radical RightWing Extremists
It's a ticking time bomb...eventually, I pray the Chinese people throw the totalitarian tyrants outta power, but until they do, we'll be increasingly at the mercy of the unaccountable nutjobs who weild absolute power in that neck of the woods.
"The two of them are PURE EVIL."
Yep...I keep hoping Slick Willie makes another mistake and America finally finds it worthy of holding him legally-accountable, but too many STOOOPID Leftists seem willing to give him money legally, so that may never happen again. I'd like to see the HildaBeast run fer POTUS, though, so we can re-open some old wounds.

"I'd like to see the HildaBeast run fer POTUS, though, so we can re-open some old wounds."
AMEN brother. So many FReepers think she can win. BS!! She holds the distinction of being the most reviled woman in America, and if she runs, we can pick the scabs, and make her bleed! My guess ol buddy? She ain't gonna run. That dog won't hunt:)
Limbaugh's making the same prediction, and you both may be right. She may just revel in her position as NooYawk's Junior Senator for the foreseeable future. But if she does, I reckon Slick Willie will leave her fat arse fer a younger model. I'm hoping Slick Willie still pines fer a return to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. and he'll coax her into going fer the brass ring.
It'll be an interesting thing to track fer the next 2-3 years...that is, if Guiliani doesn't knock her outta her Senate seat in '06.
FReegards...MUD
Mud, you are THE Man!
Thanks for sharing that with me. I feel 20 years younger.
I'll spend a little time and, who knows, maybe I'll do something analagous someday.
In the meantime, thanks for all you do to make all of us smile and laugh.
You ARE a road kill beeber....Unnngh!
