Media Matters quote of the week is from Bruce Springsteen

[billbuckhead]

QUOTE OF THE WEEK:

"The press has let the country down. It's taken a very amoral stand, in that essential issues are often portrayed as simply one side says this and the other side says that. I think that Fox News and the Republican right have intimidated the press into an incredible self-consciousness about appearing objective and backed them into a corner of sorts where they have ceded some of their responsibility and righteous power."
-- Bruce Springsteen

MediaMatters is a great site and this is an excellent observation, well stated from the "Boss". I wonder if Bruce told this to his "buddy" Ted Koppel.

1. KICK!!! It is sad but true that the Rethugs 40+ years of screaming...

"Liberal Bias" has cowered the media into being nothing more than a Propaganda Machine for the "Un-American Right Wing/Rethugs".

We on the Left need to be more organized and set up our own "networks" to Work the Refs in the media. Start SCREAMING RIGHT WING BIAS!!! We must do this if we want to get our voices heard. We can't just do it once, we need to do this 24/7. The Repugs did this and we must do the same.
