"Liberal bias" rants in The Boston Globe's LTTE section

[mreilly]

My local paper, the Globe, has bent over backwards lately printing every misbegotten befuddled rant from crying right-wingers intent on shrieking their little hearts out about the alleged "liberal bias" at the Globe. The ironic thing is that the Globe seems to gives them carte blanche treatment to climb up on their huffy little soapboxes and spew invective and still they querulously insist the Globe hates Republicans, won't let Republican views be aired fairly, the Globe is a bunch of naughty meanies afraid of the opposition, etc. Obviously the RNC playbook has been spread far and wide once again this election season.

So according to these mind-numbed, programmed little zombies, anyone who dares point out the failures of the Bush/Cheney team is just a liberal who hates Republicans. Same goes for anyone who reports on the hypocrisies of John McCain, the ineptitude and lack of ethics of Sarah Palin, or anything else that makes their precious heroes look bad. Because, you see, such mean things couldn't possible ever be true so it must be coming from one of those anti-America leftists who love Stalin so much! Their goal, quite clearly, is to mislead the masses to the point that anything that makes a Republican look bad can be automatically dismissed as false, at least in their fevered little minds.

Personally, I'd like to tell these GOP whiners: "So you say the Globe has a liberal bias? Guess what, assholes? I DON'T FUCKING CARE!! You people have ZERO problem with the demonstrated conservative bias of Fox News, the Whore Street Journal, Townhall.com, or any of the trash publications and 'news' sites you rely on, so you can take your little whines about 'leftist bias' and shove them straight up your asses. Seriously - FUCK YOU and the haughty holier-than-thou horse you rode in on, pukes."

I finally put the Globe on notice that I'm not going to continue my subscription if they let these dittoturds have their say, day after day after day. It's bad enough my subscription pays the salary of Jeff Jacoby, the token conservative who has never seen a fact he couldn't ignore or twist any way he sees fit to weave his alternate reality where nobody should ever pay taxes and the ills of society can all be cured by deregulation. It's worse that the Globe insists on carrying the garbage comic strip "Mallard Fillmore," written and illustrated by the notorious drunk driver Bruce Tinsley (just another Rush Limbaugh clone).

I have no problem with paying for content I may not necessarily agree with, but I will not fund the misguided efforts of the Globe to prove their lack of bias by letting the same fictional RNC talking points be aired again and again and again, to the exclusion of meaningful material produced by people capable of independent thought.
