"I don't think it's a great conspiracy, but the fact is I think Juan is right. There are more voices of opinion in terms of talk radio shows, editorial pages and they're not liberal." Oh why must we vex the liberals by asking them to explain their heartfelt assertions? They feeeeeel unfairness is in the air, and that alone should suffice.
BTW Laisson's condescending school marm demeanor makes me want to wretch. FOX should dump her, much less pay her.

Oh well, if two non-biased NPR-ites say Albore is correct I guess that means we all owe him an apology. </sarcasm>

There are more voices of opinion in terms of talk radio shows, editorial pages and they're not liberal That's because all the liberals in the "main stream" do not reveal their bias - in other words, they lie to the listeners about being unbiased.
Conservative commentators on the radio proudly proclaim their political orientation, because they don't have to hide what they truly are.

They still think the problem is that the Democrats didn't get their message out.
The problem, of course, is that the Democrats did get their message out--loud and clear.
Just when you think these fools couldn't possibly get more deluded...they surprise you again!
Just stick your heads back down in the sand. That's a good place for you.

This is all a good sign. If no one was paying a bit of attention to Rush, The Washington Times, or FNC, they could care less. They are running scared. It galls them that the PEOPLE, the Great Unwashed, finally have a source of information beyond their control. It is why they hate the Internet so much.

Bottom line: How many liberals would trade the liberal slant of ABC News, CBS News, CNN, MSNBC, NBC News and PBS, as well as the New York Times and Washington Post, for one cable news network, a Washington, DC newspaper out-sold seven-to-one in its home market and one national radio personality? Think about that. Not to mention NPR and a whole gaggle of other newspapers like the LA Times and Boston Globe. Just a few voices of dissent and they can't take it.

The VLWC (Compost and Slimes) brought down Nixon, as a "payback" for his anti-communist stands. I guess I'll not hold my breath waiting for Williams and Liasson to acknowledge that historical fact.

Juan and Mara conveniently forgot to remind everyone that the International Communist Conspiracy is still in business as long as there is a NYT, WarshPost, LA Times, ABCBSNBCTIMELIFECNN etc.

Watching the libs explain why more voices in the debate is a bad thing is high comedy & has the added benefit of contributing to their ongoing implosion.
Har-dee har har.

Actually, I don't think the liberal advantage is as great as it appears because of the quality and content of the respective audiences. Readers of the WashTimes and listeners to Rush are almost all committed conservatives. I also betcha Fox News is stoked with conservative refugees from CNN and the Big Three networks. Research shows the talk radio audience is better educated and wealthier - and they vote.
In contrast, many people watch the Big Three or take a major newspaper out of inertia or to get sports scores or because no alternative is available. I personally take two liberal papers, the Denver Post and NY Times because they give me a good overview of what's happening locally and in the world. I read them like people in the old Soviet Union read Pravda, knowing it's biased and filtering for bias as I read.
Bottom line is a definite minority of Big Three or even CNN watchers are committed liberal voters, where in contrast all but a tiny minority of Rush listeners are "broken glass Republicans."
The Dims are right to be worried. If they can't get people to vote for them with their present advantages, how will they do it as more media outlets follow the lead of Fox News to grow their audiences???

I caught this segment and Krauthammer was great.
Krauthammer snickered: suddenly one or two opposition forces arise -- Washington Times, Fox News, Weekly Standard -- and all of a sudden its a great conspiracy. This is absurd.

I've posted this before and will do so again:
Anybody who is curious enough about this question to do some reading should read Bias by Bernard Goldberg. He was a reporter for CBS News for 28 years, including two decades for CBS Evening News with Dan Rather. He blew the whistle on pervasive liberal bias in mainstream media and basically lost his job for it. Gore and the liberals are so delusional it's almost not funny. Almost.

Charles Krauthammer countered: A 'cry for help? Im a psychiatrist, I dont usually practice on camera, but this is the edge of looniness. This idea that theres a vast conspiracy. It sits in a building, it emanates, it has these tentacles, is really at the edge. He could use a little help. You just had to SEE the sneer on Krauthammer's face when he said this. He almost burst out laughing. He could hardly contain himself. And later on, when Juan was agreeing with Gore, Krauthammer looked over at him with a look of utter disbelief on his face and said, "Juan, you have GOT to be kidding."
Imagine, whinning about THREE conservative news outlets, when they've had thousands for years.

I agree, The "Rats", like ostriches tried to stick their head in the sand. Only problem is, we poured conkrete on the ground. Now they complain that it gave them a headache :>)

National Public Liberal Radio: Spreading Socialism on your dime.

I honestly cannot believe what I'm hearing from some of them. Did you see that interview Gore gave last week to the NY Post? It isn't even comprehendable English:
For now, Mr. Gore can only attempt to explain what motivates the ceaseless lampooning he continues to face from Americas columnists and commentators. "Thats postmodernism," he offered. "Its the combination of narcissism and nihilism that really defines postmodernism, and thats another interview for another time, if youre interested in it.

...but this is the edge of looniness.This is a great quote from Krauthammer. Many liberals are standing on the edge with Gore.
