CROWLEY: A quick look now at politics and the media.

The continued popularity of conservative voices like Rush Limbaugh has Democrats wondering how to create a media megaphone of their own.

Senior analyst Jeff Greenfield has some thoughts. He is with me now from New York -- Jeff.

what kills me is they are already 'iberal voices' and dont understand this is why they are losing market share.

And it looks like they are trying to go MORE liberal... Thereby proving 2 things:

1) they have they're head up their a$$ and dont understand business
2) they ARE liberal

Liberals want to give "rights" to terrorists who killed 3,000 Americans on 9/11...most Americans turned right after that day and are no longer willing to put up with those politicians who are more concerned about the enemy than they are about us! I simply change the channel whenever I see some idiot politician spouting the rights of Tali-ban Tom over Joe American!

You know that's a very interesting point, Aloha Ronnie. We see less of Klayman on Fox News which makes me wonder if Fox News is biased towards JW. If Fox News is trying to appear "conservative" they don't fool me a bit. I see Klayman on MSNBC than any other cable network. So if Hillary is trying to promote herself she'd have a better shot at Fox News than Larry.

You missed the most important part of that statement. But now, the argument goes, a powerful conservative media machine has sprung up, with Web sites, most notably The Drudge Report, feeding into the dominantly conservative talk radio world: Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and company, and, some say, to Fox News, which has grown into the most watched cable news outlet.

What they are really complaining about is the internet, websites like Free Republic and Drudge that feed the news to Rush, Hannity and other conservative commentators. We gather the news and they disseminate it.

I would like to see Fox News cover this disparity between CNN's newscasts to the American market vs. to markets abroad. I would imagine that most folks are as ignorant of the discrepancy as I was, and this would be very interesting news indeed. FNC is our only hope of wide-spread exposure of CNN's sneaky tactics. Oh, how I would enjoy watching their empire crumble globally.

I'm praying for ANY news organization to counter the global CNN coverage. Fox is the logical choice, but at this point, I'll settle for anything. Like you, I wish Fox would at least cover the disparity!

Ann Coulter addresses this in "Slander" and says (if I've got the verbiage correct) that liberals do not see media bias the same way fish do not see water.

It is so pervasive and so necessary for them to be surrounded by it that they are literally swimming in it but to admit its presence would be to admit that somebody may have crapped in their fish bowl.

They won't ever have a "liberal Rush Limbaugh" because in order to do what Limbaugh does they would have somebody who is a) honest b) accurate and c) funny. And you can't be a card-carrying liberal while being all three.

yesterday on Fox's morning show they were saying they'd heard about a CNN memo telling them to smile more because they do at Fox. ROFL!! That is part of the reason I like Fox--they are more like normal people laughing (brit hume always ends up with something funny on special report) and there's some dialogue that seems genuine between the various anchors. Thank god for Foxnews!
