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.

Charles Krauthammer countered: “A 'cry for help?’ I’m a psychiatrist, I don’t usually practice on camera, but this is the edge of looniness. This idea that there’s 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.

Rock Chalk Jayhawk!

Let's consider the facts:

The Libs don't get the help of taxpayer funded spindoctors in the White House to write their stories and talking points anymore.

Instead of wishy-washy congress people, who are too PC to stand up for a principle with facts, the networks have been putting more articulate and resolute speakers and columist up who wipe out the liberal spin with reason.

The model for this success was a little watched but loyally followed and long-running/privately underwritten, show called Firing Line on PBS, with the unslayable Conservative William F. Buckley Jr.

The commercial success of this equation is what scares the s--t out of them - If this continues, they are sunk forever.
