The "new level of liar" is only possible because we're also seeing a new level of bias and side-choosing from the MSM, which seems to be reacting to the dimunition of their power as a result of the internet by dropping any pretense of objectivity and turning themselves into an off-budget propaganda department for the far left of the Democrat party. Which, to be fair, is pretty much all of the Democrat party.
But, you know, I remember 1992 reasonably well, and the MSM was whole-heartedly behind Bill Clinton back then. I mean, to the extent they're doing things today they weren't doing back then, it's only because they handn't thought of them yet.
You're right. If they could just figure out how to shut off all opposing viewpoints, we would quickly descend into Soviet Union or Red Chinese territory. Can anyone say 'Fairness Doctrine'?
Thank God for talk radio and Fox News (despite all the grousing about them, they will still allow the truth to get out about the Dems). No wonder Obama is yelling about them, that ability to still get the truth out is what is killing him right now.
