Whenever a right winger says the media is "liberal" ask yourself why. Every time a right winger makes that claim they are unwittingly admitting that conservatives don't have the brains to get journalism degrees. They are admitting conservatives aren't capable of writing or saying anything coherent. They are admitting conservatives aren't smart enough or dedicated enough to go into education to become university professors or university presidents. Or it means conservatives are just too lazy to do all the work necessary to become journalists.
And if right wingers try to suggest that there is some big (liberal) conspiracy where media companies are systematically discriminating against conservatives by not hiring them, please cite ONE court case where that has happened. Come on right wingers, just one???
It is laughable how the right wing has been whining about the big, bad 'left wing media' for 30 years, yet haven't done one thing in that 30 years to change it. That's because their claims are bogus. Yes, I know, Rupert Murdoch started the propaganda channel Fox News in the mid-1990s, but that is the only major television source for the right wing. And right wingers never question what they hear on Fox News. They lap up every word as gospel, while denouncing every other media source in the world. They seem to have a persecution complex that goes well with fundamentalist religious extremism that has taken their once great party hostage. Sad, very sad...
Oh yeah, I challenge right wingers to provide sources, links, video and audio evidence, stone tablets, signs written in clouds or any other proof the media is liberal. Right wingers always demand these from others, but when they are asked questions their only sources are Fox News and right wing radio. Laughable, very laughable. I have followed politics for the past forty years and I have never seen the level of absolute ignorance exhibited by those in the right wing. I have been a moderate and independent and in no way am I entrenched in any part of the political spectrum. That is why I find it almost bewildering how right wingers cocoon themselves in Fox News and right wing radio and run from all other sources.
And for clarification, I do not consider all republicans to be right wingers. Right wingers are those who are at the radical, extremist fringe of their party and are the ones who are holding that once great party hostage.
