The Liberal Media?????

6 comments March 15th, 2008

As I’ve participated in political discussions recently my conservative friends talk about the “Liberal Media”…you know what…I don’t get it.  Do the conservatives really think there is a liberal conspiracy in the media?  As I watch, listen and read the media I have to say that the most well balanced reporting comes from CNN, MSNBC, NPR and the RR Star.  The most biased media would be Fox (which I refuse to watch) and of course the hateful and mean spirited Rush Limbaugh.  CNN always has opposing viewpoints; does anyone think that Chris Matthews isn’t tough on everyone; NPR (my favorite radio) is always careful to give considerate and respectful to all perspectives; I read columnists in the RR Star that I would never agree with.  I have a sense that those who complain about the liberal media are desperate to justify their positions and therefore they resort to blaming the media for the shortcomings in their arguments.   My suggestion…stop blaming the media, stop listening to Rush, stop watching Fox and perhaps you’ll start to see why we liberals believe the way we do.
