Well gee, these 6 corps, some very RW own the liberal media, who would've known!

Wow, without the republican clown circus I never would have known Fox News, Comcast and News Corp, for example, were LEFT wing strongholds. Gosh, the republican presidential clown hopefuls are just so damn smart.

all I would have to do is point out who owns most of all our media. I'd name the handful of profit-driven, capitalist conglomerates that own practically all outlets and then ask him how many of them were Marxist collectives or liberal cabals or hippie communes.

Each time (and we would go through this argument over and over again like "Groundhog Day&quot he'd just look blankly at me.

Repeat it often enough and a significant percentage of people will believe it.

Ask Roger Ailes, the fascist.
