Is the media really the "Liberal Media?"

[sadaist]

The months leading up to the recent elections, we were bombarded daily by the news of troops killed in Iraq. Every day the top news story was 1 or 2 soldiers killed, bringing the monthly total to x, the yearly total to y, and the war total to z. Since Tuesday, November 7 2006, there has not been one single top story of any military deaths in Iraq. (Or running totals)

This past Monday, 22 minutes into the local 11 o'clock news there was mention of one soldier being killed. That only made the local news because he was a local boy. His death was so important that it came after the sports & weather segments.

Maybe no soldiers have died in Iraq since November 7. The Democrats victory sure did make a huge impact with the insurgency. And rather quick I might add.

Eye-opening, isn't it.

Not exactly sure where you're headed with this, but....

The "Liberal Media" is a myth.

The mainstream media has been neutered and scared shitless for 6 years.

They're just now finding their collective sacs.....


The only reason the right even claims there's a "Liberal" bias is because there's been som much goddamn fodder from which to choose.

A failed Iraq War Plan

Torture and rendition

Social Security Reform failings

Infighting over Immigration

DeLay, Abramoff, Lay, Skilling, Cunningham, Ney, et al.......


The NeoCons in this country all believe the media should just shut up and follow orders like Good Germans.

Dems took the house. No need for news of all of the Republican caused deaths anymore.

Sure, with a little digging. But it's not top of the hour, front page news since the elections.

It was NEVER "top of the hour" for LOCAL news here either.

Local news is much more geared LOCALLY

I think it's YOUR perception that's skewed, Mr. Orange County Republican

I mentioned the local news because since the elections, that was the first I heard of any deaths. But the months leading up to the election, you couldn't open Yahoo home page without the totals on the front page. Same with cnn, cnn headline, msnbc, cbs, and the national newspapers. Even the radio news would open with the daily death toll.

The Media is Liberal

The Front Line is Liberal

The Congress is Liberal


It's your worst nightmare coming true.......


Run! Hide!


Liberal ideas such as taking care of others, marriage being a state issue, affordable medical care, a woman's right to choose, limits on gun ownership, and NOT invading and occupying sovereign nations which pose no threat to us.


The End is Near!!!!!
