Liberal Media My Ass!!

[mermaid]

I live in Austin, Texas. Our city voted 80-20 for KERRY. Travis County, as a whole, voted 70-30 for KERRY.

YET...Tha Austin American-Fucking-Statesman...conservative RAG that it is, actually endorsed Fuckhead for Prez.

Now here is what I wanna know...

In a town like this...that voted 80 percent FOR KERRY...if we can't have a local paper that ACTUALLY REFLECTS OUR VALUES...then where the FUCK is this "liberal media" I keep hearing about?? :wtf:

[sub.theory]

1. There is no liberal media

It's just a myth concocted by the corporate media to explain away the failures of their fascist stooges.

2. We need to create

a liberal media. Can you imagine the apoplexy of the rw shit-heads if they actually had to deal with an independent press?

3. There IS a liberal media.

The Nation, The Progressive, Mother Jones, Ms. and Bitch (for feminists), and others. They're not daily newspapers, but they're still MEDIA, and they do excellent investigative journalism. If you want them to stay alive, SUBSCRIBE!

4. The liberal media exists....

.... in the mind of lying Republican pundits only.

Look at who OWNS the media to determine how "liberal" it is.

If the media was liberal, it would have not backed away from the Louisiana District One Congressional race as it did this year.
