Let's see what CNN is covering right now... I'll wait.
If we actually HAD a liberal media:
They would be raking Clinton over the coals for connections to Honduran coup leaders and investigating US ties to authoritarian regimes the world over. They would also use this opportunity to examine our use of death squads and the School of the Americas.
http://www.democracynow.org/2009/7/15/hondurasThe media would be exposing pay-for play items like this one by Grover Norquist and asking Who else's opinion has been bought and sold? They would also reveal a few of Grover's better little gems like drowning America in a bathtub all the while zeroing in on the bigger question, how did bozos like this get SO MUCH power?
http://www.politico.com/static/PPM130_fedex_grassroots_proposal_6-30-09_final.htmlhttp://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2009/7/17/754477/-American-Conservative-UnionWe'd have the donors list on senators like Mary Landrieu displayed right alongside them in a Crossfire type program where they could justify denying Americans health care options. Our op eds would read "Shame on Mary."
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/06/09/mary-landrieu-opposed-to_n_213211.htmlWe would have a real understanding of health care Myths surrounding Canada. Discussions of health care costs for a public plan would analyze a single payer option as well, eliminating 30% + overhead from insurers and revealing the emperor as stark raving naked.
http://www.denverpost.com/opinion/ci_12523427The 40th Anniversary of Apollo would be a chance to rejoice in our creativity, ingenuity and power when we act together through responsible government and Leaders like JFK. It would also be an opportunity to ask, "Why can't we recreate our Apollo Era successes?" and tear apart the contracting boondoggle that feeds big corporations not just at NASA but throughout government.
Revelations that Dick Cheney's private death squad could operate in the US would be met with demands that the government reveal everything NOW. I mean, just what else don't we know, right? The media would be our voice scolding voice of justice and retribution.

Walter Cronkite's death would be a chance to see just how far we have fallen when it comes to mainstream reporting instead of a sappy farewell to good 'ole uncle Walt..
But that's NOT the way it is for July 20, 2009
