33. Agree - Right Wing Media Supports Right Wing Leaders. "Liberal" News Gives Corporations A Free Pass
Fox News is always out pounding on liberal critics and interest groups. However, how often does Maddow and Olbermann confront corporate America, except long after the fact. I gave some examples of issues that they can get out in front of, but you hear nothing. I am sure that after the vote is complete, they will then express outrage, but god forbid that they upset their corporate advertisers.

In other words, Maddow and Olbermann are free to raise liberal issues, so long as it does not offend their corporate sponsors. Where is Maddow and Olbermann talking and educating about the things that taxes buy such as:

1. Social security.
2. Police.
3. Teachers.
4. Firefighters.
5. Navy Seal snipers.

Why not go out and challenge the teabaggers and ask what they want to cut?

So, you are right. Fox News often supports right wing leaders. Liberal news, just like mainstream news, and right wing news, is just as willing to tear down liberal leaders while giving corporate America a free pass. Thus, Democrats are in a three front war.
