I guess you can call it a double-edged sword. People say stay informed and know the issues. They tell you to watch the news. They tell you read the newspaper, but when you seek out these sources in your quest to stay enlightened you end up getting frustrated, especially if you are conservative or subscribe to traditional American values. Why? Because you are being force fed pure, unadulterated liberal BS chock full of their biased views. So the next time you just happen to sit down in front of the TV, pick up the newspaper or click on that webpage don't question that feeling in the pit of your stomach. Because if you're anything like me you probably want to throw up because it is no secret as to what the liberal media is trying to do. These organizations have the audacity to try to pass the garbage they peddle on the public as objective news reporting. And it just gets progressively worse every year. The news coverage of the presidential primaries and general election season has been and is an absolute farce. Most major media outlets and their talking heads are nothing more than a marketing arm of the Barack Obama campaign. To these people this man can do no wrong. He possesses no real experience or major accomplishments, can outright lie through his teeth and

>>But liberal talk radio does exist, and that was my only point as I responded to someone saying that all talk radio was conservative.

Conservative radio has a really interesting history. There are some wonderful books out there about it. Those with more liberal outlooks completely missed the boat as far as that is concerned. In some ways, conservative talk radio has changed the media landscape permanently.

Personally, I can't stand mean talk shows. I can't stand Air America (which I get on satellite radio) or the Mike Savages of the world. And I think some of what is said on these programs is horrific. (One conservative talk show host in Alaska read the names and phone numbers of coordinators of an anti-Palin rally. These women received hate messages for days and days. How does anyone sleep after doing such a thing?)

If I knew of a conservative talk show that was more even handed, I would certainly listen to it. (If anyone has suggestions do share. I can't believe that they're all so mean.) I don't mind opposing views. I do mind inaccuracies and nastiness.

A while back there was a poster that called liberals "libbies" that stopped when I started using "connies" to describe conservatives.

Did you watch Bill Moyers Journal a few weeks back about political shock radio?

I did, and it chilled me to the bone. That was a very, very disturbing report.
