5. I'm so sick of this "liberal media" myth.
It is just absolute nonsense. The problem is that conservatives have gone so far right that they see anything approaching the middle as liberal. Look at the things they have made liberal.

Medicine is liberal
Science is liberal
Philosophical thought is liberal
The health of our planet and recognizing the damage we cause is liberal
Looking after nature and the creatures that inhabit it is liberal
Diplomatic foreign policy is liberal
Considering the opinions of our allies (France and Germany for example) is liberal
The U.N. is liberal
The right to privacy is liberal
Freedom of speech is liberal (unless it is contained within "Free Speech Zones")
The right to receive medical care is liberal
Habeas Corpus is liberal
The Ford Prius is liberal


And worst of all: Intellect is liberal

How is any sensible news organization supposed to report any news when these ridiculous standards are applied to what could be considered liberal in this country? I am usually somewhat nice (especially since I live in Alabama and am surrounded by these people) but Republicans get more and more retarded everyday.
