It is not so surprising, really, that the mainstream media, without fail, attacks Republicans and other conservatives as "evil," rich," "homophobic," or "just not getting it," and consistently praises the most pathetically inept and/or corrupt Democrats as "fighting for the little people", or perhaps as "the most intelligent woman in the world". Many of the liberal media stars are former Democratic party workers, or were on the staffs of Democratic politicians. Several pages of the book are required for a partial list of them. Liberals insist that disclosing these political ties to the public is not necessary, since their reporting and commentary is always "fair" and "balanced!"
Having a lock on the mainstream media means the liberals never have to question their devotion to what is, in most respects, a religion -- socialism, which is a two-class system of government comprised of superior, elite (rich) rulers and grateful, adoring (not rich) servants. Since they refuse serious debate and are frequently successful in silencing conservative voices, liberals don't think anyone will (or should) notice when their arrogance finally becomes news. After all, they are rich not because they worked for their wealth, but simply because they are "good" and deserve not only the finest life has to offer but they also deserve not to have contact with the unwashed poor or that hated, soon-hopefully-to-be-taxed-out-of-existence middle-class who aspire to life's amenities and pleasures themselves.
Early this year, Coulter tells us, David Geffen, Barbra Streisand, Steven Spielberg, and other of the fabulously rich Hollywood elites, erected illegal chain link fences to keep normal citizens from using public beaches that happened to be next to the liberals' beachfront homes. "The California Coastal Commission was forced to intervene to demand that the Hollywood left stop blocking access to the beach." Like their favorite, though impeached, president, the left considers themselves above the law.
Despite the liberal media's years of propaganda and role-modeling for us on television and in the movies, drumming into the minds and hearts of America the image of the left as the true reflection of America -- intellectually, culturally and politically -- not many of our citizens buy into it. Slivers of the East and West coasts, enclaves in Florida, dependent government bureaucrats, and fearfully deceived minority members, are all they can count on. America's interest in liberal newspapers and television programs continues a downward spiral. The reason for that is that Americans are generally a hard-headed, can-do, practical, sometimes religious people who have the sense to recognize that when someone lies to you a lot, probably they want something from you they have no right to possess.
