In psychological terms this article is called "projection". The evil the liberal media is guilty of they are projecting on the conservative media or their competition.

The only way they can win is to frame the argument that the conservative media is guilty of hate crimes, or somehow paint them as violating ethics of journalism as THEY define it.

The serious part is that lib media is seriously at war with America and our constitutional system. They are seeking to tear down the freedoms, the economy, the opposition party by whatever means necessary to accomplish their ends...control.

Control of the intellectual elites. They know what is best for us. They know how our money is best to be spent. They know what we should drive, where we should go. They presume to know how best to conduct foreign affairs. They presume to know best how to conduct spy work by making all our actions and intents open to our enemies. We are too stupid to know how to live. And if we presume to do so, we should be locked up in prison.

We have allowed the liberals to steal a march on us and dictate the terms of the debate, to define the meaning of the terms. It is high time to assert the voice of logic, reason and conservative values in this country and deal with zero tolerance any attempt to silence that voice.

This is my rant for today. Imperfectly expressed as it is, I still feel deeply that we are in a serious civil war, bloodless perhaps, but only temporarily so.

Psychological projection
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

According to the theories of Sigmund Freud, psychological projection is a psychological defense mechanism whereby one "projects" one's own thoughts, motivations, desires, feelings, and so on onto someone else (usually another person, but psychological projection onto animals and inanimate objects also occurs). The principle of projection is well established in psychology.

Peter Gay describes it as "the operation of expelling feelings or wishes the individual finds wholly unacceptable – too shameful, too obscene, too dangerous – by attributing them to another". (A Life for Our Time, page 281).

The concept is anticipated in the Gospels and in the writings of Friedrich Nietzsche.

"He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you."
