15 things everyone would know if there were a liberal media

15 things everyone would know if there were a liberal media
Aug 07, 2013 5:02am PDT by akadjian

Promoted from diaries by Susan Gardner.

Reince Priebus (and apparently many others) still thinks there's a liberal media.

While I share Reince's frustration with the media, as a liberal, I'd like to go on record and state that the media isn't focusing on issues I care about. They seem to be far more focused on entertainment and making money.

Don't believe me?


If you know anyone who still believes in a "liberal media," here's 15 things everyone would know if there really were a "liberal media" (inspired by Jeff Bezos' purchase of The Washington Post):

1. Where the jobs went.
. ...
2.  Upward wealth redistribution and/or inequality.
. ...
3. ALEC
. ...
4. The number of people in prison.
. ...
5. The number of black people in prison.

MSNBC is more partisan to the third-way corporate line than liberal at-best. The whole "taking down" of Cornell West was about 3 MSNBC employees.

and what about after Bush/Cheney et.al invaded Iraq? Where was the coverage on the intelligence briefing Rice gave at Bush's ranch warning of Bin Laden's plans for an immanent attack? And I never heard about the Downing Street Memo on the MSM. Liberal media my ass!

A purpose uf the media is to weed out the incompetent by exposing them. The corporate media doesn't dare speak against a GOP candidate thus the current circus act.
