So brilliantly planned and carried out. Buy the media. Say the opposition owns it. Do whatever the hell they want because who could question it? After all, it's the liberal media. Good f**king GOD.

No stolen election - the media didn't report it.
Jeff Gannon/James Guckert - Monica was sexier and involved with a Dem.
Who is Dennis Kucinch?

1. Game plan: "Shout liberal media!"

And they still shout it. How long did they think people would buy that crap?

2. They still buy it.
If a "liberal" reporter makes an error in a quote or attribution, entire pages of my local paper are devoted to it. A right wing shill can completely reinvent history, and nothing is said.

Our democracy is screwed. FoxNews has become Truth.

3. They didn't count on the Blogs
No doubt the Blogs are their next big target.

4. Philosophical question:
What is wrong with an organization that campaigns against its own credibility?

This is the biggest contradiction that I have noticed in the whole "Liberal Media" myth.

After all, who told us all this?
(the media...)

6. Sure.
Media - Their Advertisers (Corporations) - Government

May the triangle be broken.

7. This is the best part, they hire mostly Democrat reporters..
So that their charges of Liberalism have a glimmer of truth.

9. Whores? Scared puppies I think.
The charges of liberalism have made the reporters cower in fear.
They go out of their way to sound "balanced" which means "more conservative"..
