If the media were really shaping opinion in this country, we would not have a Republican in the White House, Republican majorities in both houses of Congress, and a majority of Governorships in GOP hands. Obviously, they hate every minute of that. It's actually kind of fun to watch. The more it becomes obvious that no one pays attention to them anymore, the more partisan and shrill their rhetoric becomes. It's like watching the police try to get one of those acreaming psychotics into the back of the cruiser. The closer they get to closing the door on him, the harder he kicks and the louder he yells. He's trying to save people from the evil space aliens, but they just won't listen. |
I think it's gotten to the point now where bashing them is useful only as a form of entertainment. It's not like they have much influence.
