"The main streem press does not report the truth abotu 911 and the New Orlaens levees". This from someone who can't spell "mainstream", much less New Orleans, and doesn't type too well, either. (Hint: there's a spell-check, dude). I find it ironic (and not a little amusing) that each side is convinced that news and information is controlled and censored by the other. For those who think the liberals are in control, I have two words: O'Reilly & Limbaugh. For those who think the conservatives are in control, two more words: Krugman & Kristof. The Communist Party USA is alive and well - as is The John Birch Society . Both the preceding links should be live, if you want to check out either one. Personally, I prefer George Will & Clarence Page.

R.Art/DC,?
You birds of a feather must travel together. One fly away. Other fly away. Yes, General Electric is what I was referring to. And it is on the other wing of your wing description. Every so often Bill O’Reilly hits on their situation with the media. You both could learn a lot by listening to Bill O’Reilly. You could sit real close together on your wire, and snicker at O’Reilly when you hear something new. If you weren’t too busy ruffling each others feathers, preening and clucking, O’Reilly could ruffle your feathers. Then you could fly down streem together. As opposed to your main stream. And what the hell is a New Orlaens levees? What is that abotu?

PS. If you two birds have some sort of physical disability, I apologize. If it is mental (other than liberalism), I guess I also apologize. New fly away!

GE as in general electric as in a huge right wing corporation that controlls media content. Your right Gene thanks for agreeing with me.

Gene – I’m sure you could create some myopic vision that counters my point that mass media is contolled by large corporations, which to a T lean right, but I doubt it would be grounded in reality. Sure there are liberal individuals reporting for mass media, but in these corporation it is not the ground level reporter who dictates what is printed, editors decide the content, and when an editor is faced with an editorial decision that weighs reporting against business, business always wins out.

Gene – admittedly, I did sort of start the name-calling between you & myself by agreeing with someone who said you were a bigot. However, you have been calling me names ever since – “naive” being the kindest – and I have not once retaliated. In fact, I have gone out of my way to point out when you said something I could respect. When I told DC that you hate everything that isn’t so right-wing it’s almost fascist, it wasn’t name calling, it was an honest impression based on your statements over the past weeks.

There is a whole other world out there DC. I could present to you, extensive thoughts that counter your observations above, however I have been called enough names this week by the tolerant other side. Have a great weekend.

I guess I don’t really see the liberal bias in any major media outlet. They are all big corporations, so naturally lean right. Maybe that is the real fear of the electronic revolution, that more independant voices can influence a larger audience, and the natural conservative tilt of media will disapear.

Okay, I won’t take it personally.
