GIVE IT A GODDAMN MOTHERFUCKING REST!
I've never heard a bunch of sorry ass wussies cry so much about fairness in my life.
Here's the secret to having taken the high road, YOU CAN'T COMPLAIN ABOUT HOW MUCH IT SUCKS TO TAKE THE HIGH ROAD!!!
Do we want a MSM that reports truth, not he-said-she-said arguments where all views have an equal stake in the truth? Absolutely. But do we need to be whiny-asses when NPR gives Jay Sukolow or whatever certifiable nutcase the last word?
Everyday there are 50,000 new diaries entitled; "NPR HAS BETRAYED US" or "BOYCOTT NPR, THEY ARE REPUBLICAN PR" Give me a break!
People clamoring to support Air America, a highly entertaining, informative and substantial radio station that is perversely and unabashedly left wing. OK! Support them, but don't claim they are journalists seeking the truth! They are just like us, lefties looking for news that helps us strengthen our argument and ideology. But if the only thing we read/hear/see is what we already believe, here is the real kicker, IT MAKES OUR POSITION WEAKER.
Perfect example: THE REPUBLICAN PARTY! They spent 30 years building an apparatus to counteract the truth. They built pseudo-academia, feux-grassroots (grass tops, or corporate groundswells, or whatever), propaganda machine, and a corporate structure for their political hierarchy (which looks like its about as successful as Enron). What is their results: some call it group-think, I believe however, that the word THINK is way to generous. Often its refered to here on Kos as drinking from the kool-aid
It's the same lefties complaining about Dems running as Republican-lite though, that are advocating our making the same dumbass move to self-containment that the Republicans did. Is our media perfect? No! But neither are ANY of our candidates. Are you gonna vote for them anyway? Yes! What's the difference? Is it that damn hard for us lefties to deal with the MSM not being perfect? Jesus, GIVE IT UP! Pick your damn battles people! The Republicans get more than their fair share of coverage now-a-days, their harebrained ideas are given equal time (AH-HA! that is the real complaint) and THEY still complain about the media. Since when did we start using those losers as our role models?
There used to be a term called "Fighting Liberals." Lets all grow a collective set of big BRASS BALLS, and stop being such wimps, and just go kick some Republican ass!
