You’ve certainly got their modus operandi down cold.

I’ve been calling them “the Democrat Media” for quite awhile, although “the godless Media” is beginning to have a lot of attraction for me.

I’d call them “Pravda” but that means “truth” in Russian, and I’d hate to offend the truth.

I haven't hit on the perfect term for them, so I try different ones. I think Rush's "Drive By Media" is very very good, but when I use it I feel like I'm poaching from the master.

I think that, for Soviet Citizens, the name "Pravda" as used for the party's main propaganda organ, was kind of a sick joke. Kind of like that Catholic "gay" organization that calls itself "Dignity." Or, for that matter, the American Civil Liberties Union.

We live in the age of the public sick joke, which laughs in your face, with it's tin-foil and rhinestone halo wagging back and forth, not even trying to hide the fake coat-hanger that holds it crookedly aloft.
