They are not going to celebrate our victories. They are not going to admit their own defeats.
So if you are thinking that the liberal news media is going to reassure you, validate your beliefs, calm you, or present a fair and balanced view of the world, then you are in for a lifetime of disappointments.
On the other hand, if you take a single step back and look at the big picture, what the liberal media tells us that matters is that they were caught off guard, that they are afraid that things are going well for us, and that they think that they need to "convince" more people to go over to their side against us.
Because the news isn't in what Michael Moore says in his interview with the liberal news media, but rather that they are interviewing Michael Moore (i.e. a diehard true believer in the Left)...because that tells you that they think that they are doing so poorly that they need to work harder to get out the "message" of the Left.
Likewise, the news isn't that ABC is talking about Senator Kerry or talking down the Iraqi handover, but rather, that they feel that their own views are doing so poorly that they need more airtime to prop them up.
That's what you should get out watching the liberal news media; the "why" behind whatever it is that they are showing on your screen.
Not validation. Not praises for our side. Not admissions that they did wrong. You aren't going to get any of that from the left-wing news media.
But what you can get from them is a window into their own insecurities. Simply watch what they think that they have to keep showing their audience...because many times that's where they are admitting where they feel they are weak.
You are right in your assessment of the ABC reporter/newsreader. Many news outlets have been treating today's news as a real downer. I guess they are too upset with Bush's success that they cannot begin to hide their partisanship.
"But, has anyone heard the ABC radio news guy carrying on about this as if it's HORRIBLE?"
What a suprise.
