The so-called 'liberal media'

by: Carnacki

Wed Aug 12, 2009 at 10:19:48 AM EDT


One of the central tenets of right-wingnuttery is the media is "liberal" despite example after example after example after example of much of the media carrying water for the Bush administration and conservatives.

The reason the right-wingers do it is to 1) coach the refs (although as the first link shows, the Washington Post and others are too often not impartial observers, but active supporters of the right) and 2) discredit legitimate sources of information like the Charleston Gazette as being "liberal" simply for being reality-based (facts, as Stephen Colbert has pointed out, have a known liberal bias).

West Virginia Media (4.00 / 1)
Who can get some real liberal media introduced into WV? Talk radio is full of Limbaugh and Hannity. How do  you get Thom Hartmann in between these shows?

Hard to say. There's been numerous reports that even when liberal talk shows get better ratings than their rightwing counterparts, conservative radio station owners don't air them. Clear Channel is losing money, but would rather carry and pay big money to right wingers than air more profitable programming. So much for the "free market system."

When a man embarks upon a crime, he is morally guilty of any other crime which may spring from it. Sherlock Holmes.
