'Liberal Media', why would corporate America want a Democrat in office?
The so called "liberal" media has been the biggest lie ever invented that bamboozled America.

The media is run by corporate America, as they pay the bills via advertising.

Corporate America loves Republicans as they stand for everything that makes corporate America more wealthy, including the following, all supported by the Republican party:

1) Low minimum wage, talk to Wal Mart....
2) No health insurance
3) Low to no corporate taxes
4) No environmental laws
5) No Unions
6) No worker's rights
7) No overtime pay (recently endorsed by Bush)

The list goes on.....

Why on earth based on the above 7 important issues would corporate America and thus the media want a Democrat in office? Give me a break!

1. The BS line that freeps use is that the *reporters* are all liberal...
Which is a total joke to anyone who has half a brain -- but therein lies the difference.

2. Because the economy sucks under Republicans.
Eventually this leads to riots and lots of property damage, grief, remedial legislation.

The wealthy will always be with us. But sometimes we rise up and slaughter them in their beds.

I think it's nice if they keep that image in their minds.

3. Here's why:
Georgie is bad for business!!! As he screams "terror" every five seconds, the stock market plunges. He has made overseas travel for so many of our businessmen a danger; and thus, hurting us on the global scene. And, I also wonder how many corporations now would like the government to help them get out of carrying health insurance for their workers? And, perhaps, as consumers snapped their pocketbooks shut this month, they are realizing that a raped middle class means they have nobody to sell their junk to. And maybe they see that what Junior's scare tactics have done to oil is going to kick the shit permanently out of the economy. Did they really expect Georgie to run around declaring unnecessary wars and racking up enormous debt???? They have a lot of reasons to dump this bucket of waste.

4. Reporters are liberal, but I guess that doesn't matter when
the corporations are repukes.

5. Liberal reporters always seem to bend over backwards to be evenhanded;
conservatives rarely do. :shrug:
