But Rather had written op-ed material for the New York Times, which he insisted was "middle of the road.” The Times, notes Goldberg, is consistently liberal. Nothing wrong with that, but Rather’s remark again recalls the prevailing wisdom in Washington media circles that "there is no left wing.”

That the Times is "middle of the road" is probably the most amazing statement in this fine article. Everything else was a verification of my own observations. How can these elite deny the reality that millions of Americans are very conservative?

Yeah. This just reinforces something that I posted a couple weeks ago. To these reporters, they don't view themselves as being left wing. They view themselves as being middle of the road. And since their politics are so far left, to them there's no such thing as a "left-wing extremist". Even a moderate is conservative to them, and the average conservative is considered by them to be an extremist.

Anyway, I fully intend to get this book. Maybe I can suggest it as a gift to a family member? Make an oh so subtle hint about what I'd like for Christmas. ;)

I gotta say, though, that considering how liberals have pretty much owned the media for several decades, now, it's amazing that the number of conseratives in this country is as high as it is. (50% or so) Were the media more balanced, then chances are the number of conservatives would swell. Maybe as high as 65-75%. You'll always have your hardcore liberal, but they wouldn't be anywhere near as numerous as they are, now, thanks to the disinformation and lies spread by the media. Thank God for FOX News!
