If conservative bias actually means George F. Will, P.J. O'Rourke and Peggy Noonan, I'm a little more okay with it. But in practice it means Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Lou Dobbs and all the members of the ######bag patrol. You can put Keith Olbermann in that category too; though he doesn't bother me nearly as much (for obvious reasons...  ), he still represents precisely what's wrong with American news media: too much slant, too much spin, too much bias, too much polarization, not enough content.
I'll say it again: we have it pretty good up here. |
It's easier to like if it generally agrees with your political views. I do agree with you re FOX - I can't watch that stuff, even though it's supposedly "right" wing. Really, nobody represents me - fiscally conservative, socially liberal - except perhaps the Economist. But on TV, I find the "lefty" stuff lame and naive, and the supposed "right" stuff moronic and over-the-top. I guess that's why the GOP can't elect anyone in the NE - hardly anybody in the party speaks for "Rockafeller" (sp?) Republicans...
