Actually I've felt the news media has galloped to the right the past 10+
years, perhaps because Clinton was in office 8 years and they feel
better having a target instead of a buddy in the oval office?
I had to resort to subscribing to Playboy half a year ago to get liberal
news bits. Granted, what they publish per page will balance out any
right wing publications 5 pages, but still: they do take a far left view
and I support a number of those positions. I don't follow the papers,
but the Contra Costa Times and the dozens others owned by them are as
hard core right wing as it gets. You have to go to Bezerkley to get a
counterpoint view.
But this will never change, so why bitch about it? The alternative to
right or left biased publishing what the masses sop up is for the
government to do so. Then we would be like Chine, or the Soviet Union
was years ago. There are pluses to those systems, but would anyone
really consider leaving what we have here broken tho it might be to go
to a system like that? If so, please give me a call before you go as
they won't allow you to keep your trucks. :]
