Liberal Media Lie (Squared)


One Michael Goodwin of the New York Daily News, published in today’s Albuquerque Journal, brings us today’s liberal media lie. (Or should I write, "the daily media lie.")
The Karl Rove story, he says, pits the White House against the national media. You know, the "mainstream media liberals."
At what point do we add up Rush and Dobson and Thomas, Krauthammer and Friedman and Zakaria, the National Review crowd and John Leo and Goodwin and hundreds of local radio talk show rightists and Fox News and CNBC and US News and I don’t know how many local newspapers’ editorialists and conclude – wow, they are the mainstream!
And their blabber about liberal media bias is a political tactic.
PS Most of the corporate news mediums are not right wing or liberal. They are corporate, seeking to protect profits by way of so-called "objectivity" and ducking identification in political terms.
