Liberals cannot win a majority in this country.

47. Most likely so.....in particular those "Moderate" Democrats you are discussing.....

and that would be because those Democrats are geographically located in places where Fox News is the "Normal" news channel...and even if those areas get CNN, CBS, ABC and whatever else, those corporate news channels are almost as RW as is FOX News! Many standard Cable packages don't get MSNBC or Current...or at least not enough of them, and they are only a couple of out of quite a few, and only Current is "Liberal" all day anyways, and has the smallest viewership out of all of 'em.

When biased conservative television channels are combined with additional conservative corporate news sources known as our newspapers and radio.....conservatism is sold hard, and so the more progressive point of view is oftentime never even heard by millions of folks, who if they were given better information, would not support the conservative point of view.

As an example of corporate media assholiness.....here in the Bay Area (one of the most liberal areas in the country), they are getting rid of 960 Quake as of 1/1/12, which is one of the very few liberal radio station that you can get on the AM dial. They have also revamped KGO810, so that liberals voices that were previously heard on that radio station are no longer heard as of last month. In otherwords, this change in radio programming in this area that I am witnessing may be happening in many other places and the purpose may be to silence liberal voices ahead of the 2012 election (kind of like what they are doing with voting access).

There is still the Internet, but way too many folks don't have access to that (which is one of the reasons that the Obama administration placed a priority on providing broadband access in rural areas...at least)-- In addition, folks tend to read on the Internet, the views that agree with their own, so the Internet isn't the answer that we would hope, since it is so highly specialized and partisan.

We need to work on the media...because as the founding fathers realized; The source of information on politicis is an important part of the workings of a democracy.

We can blame Democrats in general because they are more "manageable" to criticize compared to corporate entities as powerful and widespread as our corporate media, but I'm not sure that this helps change anything. It's easier.....but it's too simple and not 100% on target.
