I am proud to be left of center. Some network pundits (those bobosos at FOX come to mind) babble that people of my persuasion are nuts. They spew from their electronic pulpit that anyone who does not support right-wing disasters like the Iraq war, wiretaps and oil drilling in wildlife refuges are extremist or worse... liberals.
It is distressing to view these Bush-pandering idiots on television as they spread their confusing message. All the while, they rant about left-wing media bias. It is obvious when you turn on the radio or television that conservative tirades dominate the airwaves.
These rabid TV monkeys could make the yellow journalists of the late 1800s blush. They stealthily use innuendo like cowardly criminals a knife. They slyly stab their progressive enemies in the back while grinning like Cheshire cats. Later they slink back to their comfortable haunts and dream-up more sharp fallacies to share.
Many of these media clowns believe in this axiom; if you emphasize the same lie repeatedly, the gullible public will think it's fact. I believe in getting my news from as many diverse radio, television and print sources as possible. This reduces the odds of being fed garbage. Where do you get your news? I hope not from FOX and some of those other right-wing bozos that seem to dominate the airwaves.
