DRUGS - that’s the only way to explain this guy. Dan surveys of your fellow scumbags reveal they consider themselves liberal.

Well, compared to Dan, most news readers/reporters would be somewhat less liberal.

"In reality, Rather unwittingly disproved his entire premise in that last paragraph."

That is because Dan Rather is a nitwit.

Dan would still Rather lie about his lie.

The problem is that people like Dan Rather are only exposed to other liberals - so no, they don’t see themselves as liberals. They think that they are right down the middle because they see the world the same way everyone that they know does. It’s how you end up having people like George W. Bush, a moderate at best, labeled a raging right-wing extremist. To people like Dan Rather, Bush was to the right of Hitler.

Liberal? Maybe not.

Communist? Definitely!

Rather is correct!

Journalists are not biased

Unfortunately, the mass media doesn't have have any real journalists, just a bunch of advocacy pimps like Rather

Well I would freakin hope so, as are most Americans. Hitler was a National Socialist...

Just full blown communists and communism-sympathizers then.

Do you feel better now, Dan? Maybe you still feel the effect of frequencies?

...Rather was actually serious...

Which shows just how far disconnected from reality he and his ilk are. He may actually believe his incredible position.

...haven't most journalists, haven't their politics been somewhat more liberal?

DAN RATHER: No, it hasn't been my experience.

Because of the people you choose to associate with. Eventually it will skew and distort your perspective. That's not opinion, that is demonstrable fact.

Most journalists I grew up with, most journalists I’ve worked with and practiced with were trying to be honest brokers of information.

Really, you expect us to believe that Dan? This is the information age, with search engines, social networking, and dozens upon dozens of information sources on the Internet. We can now find information that hasn't been filtered through the distorting lense of the liberal agenda so prevalent in the MSM. In short Danny-boy, we're onto you and yours.

I know that it's widely believed that CBS, NBC, ABC chock full of liberals. Not true.

By your actions you'll be known. By that standard you're all flaming liberals.

RATHER: Well, that's true. And that's why I say that journalism, American journalism in some ways has lost its guts, or it needs a spine translate.

You mean "transplant" there Danny-boy?

...you know there's going to be a price to be paid for that. And so often it is, “You know what? I'll just get in the middle, move with the mass, I’ve got house payments and car [unintelligible].”

Right there he (probably unintentionally) proved our point. So-called "journalists" in the MSM no longer actually work to report news and information. They go-along with everyone else around them to further their careers. Pretty soon the whole herd is so far left they can't see the middle anymore. But everyone around them pretty much shares the same outlook. Sure there are a few outliers in either direction. But they don't even realize how far left the entire group has moved. They actually think they are the new center.

Most people are to the right of Hitler. This is because Hitler was Left-Wing.

"We are socialists, we are enemies of today's capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are all determined to destroy this system under all conditions" Adolf Hitler.

Hope this is helpful.
