On FOX Now: Sean Hannity's "Behind the Bias: The History of the Liberal Media"
The idea of a biased network airing a biased special on false opposite bias in the media sends my head spinning. I'm not sure if this is outrageous, or the pinnacle of meta.

1. When stupidity pays your salary you play stupid.
And Sean doesn't have to work to hard to do that.

4. Bernard Goldberg -'Bias' was utter BS
and fools thought it was outing a real issue. Still do. Unreal.

7. and this coming from fox?
....even a brain-dead bagger must understand that the media can't possibly be 'liberal'; they work for 'conservative' corporations and do what they're told....

8. The history of the LIE about the fact that there is no liberal media would be more appropriate.

9. Yeah, the media is liberal
They show unwed mothers, premarital sex, gays living happy lives, and inter-racial relationships. And they don't show people going to church, praying before every meal, or turning to the Bible or a religious expert for help in solving problems.



There's the liberal media, right there. See it?


Of course, the liberal NEWS media is basically non-existent, but like extraterrestrial spaceships, is claimed to be seen practically everyplace. Also like extraterrestrial spaceships, most of the people claiming to see the liberal news media are also disinclined to question their own perceptions on the issue.

10. The liberal media was something Reagan made up to explain the Vietnam mess as well as the
Nixon Watergate break in. What many forgot was media was never liberal or conservative, it just reported news. It became conservative after Reagan decided the problem was the fairness doctrine that kept conservatives from doing what Fox news is doing, being the conservative mouth piece.

11. The Capstone on the Big Lie...
It's truly a parallel universe now...no reality needed. Your "average" faux zombie has been fed a lifetime of right wing lies and talking points. Faux and hate radio have hammered these home for the past decade so that now to square the circle they offer "critiques" and "analysis" to verify that up is down and anyone who questions is part of a conspiracy. Hopefully there's plenty of good material for Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert for next week...
