The next time I hear somebody complain about the “liberal media”, I’m going to smack them. Why for the love of God would GE, the definition of a corporate profits first organization subsidize a leftist agenda at NBC? Why would Disney do the same over at ABC? Sumner Redstone, well know leftist, is doing the same with CBS? It’s just so ridiculous; unless you repeat it over and over and over in the echo chambers of talk radio.
As Stephen Colbert pointed out at the national press dinner, “Reality has a known liberal bias.” Since reality wasn’t agreeing with what they wanted to believe was happening, they got their own reality. The reality is that the right has put together what is basically a huge propaganda apparatus that lies to the American people every day.
Most Fox News viewers still believe that WMDs were found, that Saddam ordered 9/11 and that Al Qaeda trained in Iraq. My mother still believes that Hilliary is a murderer and Bill Clinton a drug dealer, based on viewing the “Clinton Chronicles” tape passed around at their Evangelical church.
All of the people are being lied to and taken advantage of. “Values voters” put these boneheads in power and what did they get for the trouble? Privatize Social Security. I really hope in my lifetime to see these well-meaning people realize that they’ve been duped and Lied to by Rush and Sean and Bill and Dick and George.
A democracy cannot exist without a vigorous, independent free press. Oppressive regimes cannot exist without propaganda. What are we?
