The media follows a conservative narrative...

[kentuck]

Anything "Conservative" is given more weight than anything "Liberal". Liberal and progressive ideas are questioned relative to the conservative status quo.

The "free market" is conservative. It is given priority over any other idea. It doesn't matter if the "free market" almost destroyed our country. It wasn't the "market" - it was a few bad apples. But do not markets consist of people, good and bad? Every law passed must be for the benefit of the market, not the average citizen. The tax laws must benefit the "market", not the average consumer.

Soon, the President will nominate a Supreme Court justice. His or her qualifications will be measured by the so-called "Conservatives" on the court. It doesn't matter how insane the conservatives have become. The liberals must measure up to their standards. The media will ask whether or not the nominee is "too liberal" but they will never ask if they are "too conservative".

Why is that? "Conservative" should be a word despised by every American, considering what they have done in the last 30 years. But they cling to their authority, as if they are the final word on everything. Can you imagine a media that questioned every conservative idea relative to liberal principles? Can you imagine if we truly had a "liberal media"?

2. Conservative Media

This is, indeed, the most important issue of this decade. The USA chose the wrong path way back in 1970. When is it ever going to stop? You might have thought that the rational mass of citizens would have defeated The Christian Mafia long before now. Instead, the madness just goes on and on without end. We are continually surrounded by idiots who never question voting against their own interests as long as The Christian Mafia controls the spin. The rational people need one consistent phrase with which to take control of the spin: They are The Backward People.

through 8 years of George Bush.
