Why can't liberals and conservatives unite on our hatred of MSM?
They call it the liberal media, which it surely isn't.

We call it the conservative media, which is sort of is, but isn't quite fully, though it has tended be in the servicve of the propaganda arm of the Fourth Reich that has planted itself in our country's leadership.

Because mostly what the MSM is, is a bit of useless idiots who don't report on the news that's important; who report incredibly poorly when they DO report on anything of substance; and who basically are more entertainment than actual news.

Imagine if both sides could get their hatred and ire channeled together to reform the MSM.

Of course, the problem is, I suppose, that they want the MSM to be even more on the entertainment/propaganda side, while we want it more on the intelligent/journalistic/let us know what's actually happening in the world side.

It just seems that we're missing a chance to work together on something...

1. Because we find different problems with the media
We are pissed because the media is portraying Bush in a favorable light, and they don't give equal time and weight to Democratic ideas.

They are pissed because the media doesn't do enough to kiss Bush's ass, and sometimes reports some of the bad things that Bush is doing.

2. There are a few pundits the left and right dislike fairly consistantly.
Chris Matthews, for one.
Wolf Blitzer.
More freepers than not think Hannity is a dunderhead.


Tis doesn't help with the pukes on the Alphabet networks, though.
