"The mainstream media is more than 90 percent left..."

[bbernardini]

Check out this gem from the "Sound Off" section of my local paper:

"I realize Sound Off is a local forum, but the mainstream media is more than 90 percent left and constantly deceiving the American public who should be honestly informed about important issues of the times. There are more than 6,000 Muslim mosques, 20 million Muslims and a dozen Muslim military compounds in the lower 48 states. The American people need to know what is actually happening."

1. Muslim military compounds?

Jeeze, what is it with these people. What the hell is a "Muslim military compound"? :crazy:

2. More idiotic RW fearmongering

Anything that isn't straight, white, male, wealthy and conservative Protestant is suspect and out to get them to these people. Conservatives are so paranoid of anything that is different from them that it's funny. Why else do you think they're so afraid of gays, racial minorities, feminists, unions and Muslims?

The world is a scary place for conservatives. There are unions...and Muslims...and gays...oh my! Unions and Muslims and gays, oh my!

3. "lower 48 states".... lower? Doesn't he mean continental.

4. Then why are there so many Republicans on TV? I swear it was Ron Christie day yesterday

on all the channels.

Despite their current marginalization, Repubs have a big ole megaphone to spread their nonsense.

On the other hand, I don't remember Dems being allowed close to camera or microphone after Nov 2004, for example.

Look how much airtime McCain gets now a days. Think about how much air time Kerry got back then.

5. There isn't ANY "left" M$M: corporations aren't liberal, nor democratic

The Liberal Media Myth (several reliable sources here showing who OWNS what, and how this myth was strategically fostered to benefit the Right)

6. Don't you know

After all of MSM get though broadcasting the news they all run out to a Hollywood Chateau and have an orgy.

Hell, if it were not for the sale of condoms and rolling papers, the California economy would be tanking right now!
