When the GOP wins, the media calls it a mandate for change. [View all]
When the Democrats win, the media counsels bi-partisanship.
And that is the essence of how the US conservative media handles politics.
When Bush Jr. stole the 2000 election, all we read in the corporate media was talk of his mandate, and how much the GOP could do.
When Obama actually won his election, twice in fact, all we read in the corporate media was advice that Obama and the Democrats should reach out to the GOP and move to the center.
And this center that the media refers to is actually moving steadily rightward, even as the US population moves in a progressive direction.
It is this steady progressive movement of the electorate that compels the GOP to cheat, to suppress votes, and to do everything that they can to limit voting to racists and billionaires.
