Friday, January 10, 2003 -- On the program following Seven Days, Bill Moyers' NOW, Grover G. Norquist, of Americans for Tax Reform, was described in the intro as having "plotted" the new Bush economic strategy, which the program previous to Seven Days, Washington Week in Review, portrayed as shocking. (And, of course, impossible, risky, not based in reality, etc.)
Three programs in a row, supported by your tax dollars, telling you that unless you vote for higher taxes on yourself, and more spending by government, everything will collapse. Three programs which are produced and manned by people who haven't the faintest idea how an economy works, what is contained in the U.S. Constitution, or what they've done to the people of America.
This all has to do with priorities. What people think comes first. To these people, government comes first.
Seven Days is set up much like Bill Maher's now defunct Politically Incorrect, which was, like all liberal products, incorrectly named. Maher and three other liberals would lambaste as viscious and unfeeling the single conservative brought to the show. (That is a liberal's idea of fairness.) Seven days is exactly the same on rare occasions. Mostly, it omits the conservative view.......(snip)

Thanks for the post. Can you believe the new rallying cry of the liberal RATS is "conservative media bias"?

It's almost as though the liberals have only just now noticed that everyone is not in agreement with them!

Thanks for the post. Can you believe the new rallying cry of the liberal RATS is "conservative media bias"?You're making the question too hard. :) Cut it down to its lowest common denominator: "Can you believe the RATS are lying?" Yup.

I think they know who their friends in the media are - Moyer, Brokaw, Jennings, Rather, NYTimes, etc. It's just that they've figured out that those outlets aren't doing as well as they used to. And a liberal isn't happy unless he can control at least 99% of the media outlets. In their minds, that's fair and balanced!

Getting control of the media outlets turned out to be the easy part for them. Snagging and holding viewers and readers turned out to be the really nasty problem.
Like the sand in an hour-glass, viewers and readers keep slip-sliding away.

Great magazine and columnist.
I don't know which is sadder, the fact that neo-Oregonians will vote themselves more taxes or that Republicans are allowing the tripling of the pbs budget.

The Democrats are crying that they expect the tax increase to be voted down. That won't happen unless we make sure to vote!
