Didn't Lisa Meyers used to work for Harper's before she worked at the White House?

Here are sources for Media bias:

-Media Research-free e-letter--

-Reed Irvine's Accuracy in Media--

-the Ben Franklin Foundation--

-Citizen's Coalition for Responsible Media--


Do you all recall when a clintophilliac- I think it was Joe Conaston- labeled talk radio "hate radio?" That's how some view dissent...

The leftstream media's constant attacks on talk radio tell me that they not only take it seriously as a competitor, but they also realize that through Rush, Hannity, etc., the truth is getting out. Alternative news sources like talk radio, Fox News Channel, and the internet have finally given people the unvarnished truth about the left.

The reason the left can't do talk radio, is the call-ins. They can't do C-span in the morning. The people, the workers call in a rip them up.

I wish someone really smart would undertake a thorough, objective, sophisticated analysis of why conservatives dominate talk radio and why liberals have failed to gain even a toehold in it. If someone were to write a book on the subject, I would buy it.

What is interesting to me are the proportions. In terms of who has a presence in talk radio, it's not a 60/40 split, or even a 70/30 split; it's more like a 95/5 split -- a total blowout for the conservatives. This extreme lopsidedness is fascinating to me. It is a striking manifestation of some fundamental difference in the way liberals and conservatives think about things, and I'd like to see somebody really pin down what it is.

If anything, we have to consider that the liberals are the ones with a simplistic viewpoint. According to any self-respecting liberal, anything can be fixed if the government throws money at it. If the schools are passing students who can't read, by all means don't kick the violent students out of the classroom or fail them (which in my state of Michigan, is illegal without parental consent until the children reach high school), give the schools money. If there is a high crime rate in a given area, don't put the perpetrators in jail, throw more money into social programs. . Are certain women given to having several children by several fathers that they never bother to put time into raising? Give these mothers more and more money. According to them, government money is the answer to every problem and accountability should never come into play

Truth always happens to be simpler. It is lies that take a lot of words.
