The Washington Post does...yet they continue to be vilified by the Right as a bastion of left thought.

Of all people, you have a lot of nerve telling someone else THEY don't know something.

It's always refreshing to hear a notorious member of the media griping about the media.

What's that you say, Bill?

There is no real left-wing media in this country.

Hilarious-

When you are standing far left, everything looks conservative to you.

Newspapers: Beyond the WSJ, name one conservative newspaper that is the primary newspaper for a city over 100,000.

TV- ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, PBS are all liberal. Fox is the only conservative leaning TV news.

Radio: Dominated by conservative talk shows (Limbaugh, Savage, Hannity, Levin, Bachelor).

Internet: Drudge trounces Huffpo.


The mainstream media (television and newspapers) is essentially ALL LIBERAL. One simply needs to look at the political identification of journalists and those who operate newspapers and television news to understand this. To state otherwise is simply outrageous.

The Fox audience trends " mature". I deliver Meals on Wheels. It's amusing to see so many housebound people who watch/ listen to Fox all day and night and talk back to the TV.

Fox does not have competition, whereas the more left leaning cable news entertainment does.

I trended news junkie and realized how much of my time I was wasting. So I swore off all news entertainment for awhile. I don't miss the constant bombardment of fake outrage from both sides.
