Reply #77: Satirizing the 'liberal media'

[BearSquirrel2]

The problem with satirizing the "left wing media" is that it does not exist except for Air America and The Nation. Conservatives would rather chew off their arms then actually quote anything that real liberal media sources have to say. They'd rather point out their market performance and be done with it. So the entire effort is nothing but what they've been doing for the last 15 years, propogating the ridiculous lie that the media that their colleagues own doesn't serve their own masters. Or alternatively the big lie that the masters are liberals instead of entrepreneurs that take big advertising checks from GE, Cargill and Waste Management to keep their Sunday morning shows from criticizing them.

Beyond what the Plaid Adder said, rabid conservatives are not funny. They're MEAN. They're funny in the way that 60s klansmen jokes about how a man grasped before he succumbed to the nuce. They're funny in the way GW Bush mocked Carla Fay Tucker's plea to not be executed on TV. They're funny in Ronald Reagan's fuddle minded mock that he could destroy the world with the push of a buttom just like the one in the radio studio. They're funny in the way that Dennis Miller mocks people for not knowing the same obscure historical trivia that he probably memorized sherely for the sake of mocking those who don't.

Conservatives aren't funny, they're cruel.
