Then there are those utterly trivial incidents, inflated to national prominence: Al Gore wearing “earth tones,”

Yeah it is much "better" to focus on his padded crotch on the covers of magazines like Rolling Stoned instead. < /s >

Howard Dean’s amplified “scream,”

Howard Dean's own party pulled the plug on his campaign.

Howard Dean was not going to win. In part because his politics were neck and neck with those Obama espouses. At least Obama picks up 96% of all black votes and some guilty liberal white voters and young voters.

Howard Dean's early "success" was the same "success" as Ron Paul had at "winning" online polls. Basements full of keyboard clickers DUping the public by DUmping on online polls.

The scream was a convenient foil for the Democrats to use to drop him early in the election cycle. In exchange for dropping out, he was handed the reins to the party.

He still sounded like a crazy wimp "Eeeeeaahhhhh". Or a braying jackass.

As the general public continues to wise-up to the fact that the corporate media are no longer reliable sources of information but rather are propaganda organs for the military-industrial-congressional-media complex, both the credibility and the audience of that media dissolves. If a significant portion of the public accelerates that dissolution, the media will face the stark dilemma: reform or perish.

Reminds me of the laugh I had at an independent bookstore recently.

A customer (I assume of the liberal persuasion) was asking the clerk/owner (I assume of the liberal persuasion) if the copy of the NYet Times she was buying was complete. Why, it was so much thinner than it used to be. He was baffled too, they checked for the supplements; yep, they were all there.

The answer is that the paper is shedding pages; content AND advertisers because advertising and circulation are down down down.

Jason Blair syndrome isn't good for the subpar fishwrap.

At last, the admirable and eloquent Keith Olbermann may have overshot with his rhetoric.

I'll have to go with mental patient on this one. No sane person would describe Olberman as admirable and eloquent.

Wow, the author must spend a lot of money on lighters and chore boy. But seriously, this is part of the partisan media shill campaign against McCain, against Republicans, and against conservatives. That joker who wrote the so-called tell-all book about GWB claims that the media gave Bush a free pass. Who can read that and not see how biased that is? I mean, other than the Bush-haters (and not even all of them)?

Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.

Count on it: John McCain’s belated shedding of the embarrassing Hagee and Parsely endorsements will be gone from the news and forgotten within the week. In contrast, the Rev. Wright “Goddam America” uproar is still alive after several months.

If this is the evidence the case is dismissed as groundless and ludicrous.

I wonder if he knows, if they grow potatoes in all 57 states? Maybe some "lost" billing wreckords will mysteriously show up after the fact.

I do believe a mental institution. There are so many lies in this article, I hardly know where to start. The fact is it’s only conservative bloggers and talk show hosts who have highlighted lib gaffes. They eventually force Big Media to acknowledge some gaffes by lib candidates. By themselves Big Media would never report them. So this idiot’s original premise is shot down immediately. I’m always amused at a libs conviction that Big Media is liberal.

For those of you who know that Satan is real, and who believe Jesus when He said he's the father of lies, I note that he sometimes inverts the truth - 180˚ - so that South is North, Truth is falsehood, and media attacking Republicans becomes media attacking Democrats.

“I’m always amused at a libs conviction that Big Media is liberal.”

I think you meant “Big Media is conservative” and yes it is funny, but here is the logic:

Big Media is “for profit”

“Profit” is evil.

Conservatives are evil.

ergo

Big Media is conservative. QED

Corporations are still driven by a profit motive but that profitability has been tremendously undercut by liberal activists who see such firms now embracing gay pride month and various charities that fund Planned Parenthood.

There are parasites hitting the bottom line and HR departments forcing employees to undergo political re-education under the guise of “diversity training”.

Corporations are rarely conservative in politics anymore. Too many liberals have infiltrated the key points of the organizations.

Still worse, almost all the media volleys are fired toward the port side. If a Republican or (so-called) “conservative” makes a gaffe, as they do almost daily, their “misspeak” is usually politely ignored.

Bull, and here is just one example:

When I say Dan Quayle, you say Potatoe.

"Big media"

Yeah, sorry, my flub. Proofread, proofread, proofread. Incidentally I have a close lib friend who swears the media is conservative simply on the basis that FOX News exists. They simply can't (or won't) see it. I used to think like he did too. Until I started going to the library and reading conservative publications. Then it became obvious how liberal the media is.
