Just who are the liberals anyway? To some (usually the most vocal it seems) a liberal is anybody to the left of Pat Buchanan/Pat Robertson/Rush/Hitler
) They view a MOR opinion as being a scandalous (thanks to our Spanish friends for my new word) liberal diatribe.
What about the libertarians and anarchists? I would say I'm somewhere in between. I like the environment but found the Clinton administrations EPA positions to be unrealistic and excessive (covered a few issues in detail). I find both parties embrace of big business (any merger will do, bigger is better, shareholders come first before customers and employees) to be frightning.
There are plenty of conservative and even a few liberal media potatos. I say few, because, again, it seems that just presenting two sides of story is LIBERAL MEDIA BIAS to some arch conservatives, but there are few I've seen who are Naderites, etc. Frankly, anybody you see on TV is a media potato, just like most politicians are political potatos, regardless of how they paint their positions for public consumption. You don't make it to Washington without money and a certain amount of ethical flexibility, and you can't get to the top in network news without ruthlessness and a cerain ethical ambiguity.
If you want half the truth with a lot of editorial slant, see Fox. If you want a general lack of substance and a lot of hot air speculation, see CNN (except for breaking news). CNBC, I have to check it out more. Editorial writers? Some good and balanced with both conservative and liberal leanings, but many know how to play to their selected demographis and get a lot of exposure and financial rewards as a result.
