In passing

La la la la la Last night while perusing Newsbusters, I fell into a deep depression (not clinical, just a regular feeling of hopelessness).  Then something struck me (again), so I ran a survey.  Here is the result.  Ninety-two percent of all political dialogue in this country is a repetition of what has previously been proved, documented and stated.  This,  because of the pathological Liberal capacity to discard from memory all political unpleasantness, and substitute something nonthreatening to their world view, and agenda.  Having done this, they immediately accept it as truth, and have no memory of what just transpired.

Former AP and Newsweek reporter Robert Parry warned of this and more on Alternet: A key strategy of the right has been to convince as many Americans as possible that the U.S. news media has a "liberal bias," a canard that has stuck even though newspapers have been traditionally pro-Republican and most media outlets are owned by giant corporations reflecting the interests of wealthy individuals. Matthews Accuses States' Rights Advocates of Racism, Quotes MLK But Not Founders According to Chris Matthews, the fact that racists have during the history of the nation invoked the rights of the states to perpetuate slavery or segregation immediately renders all proponents of states' rights -- a pillar of federalism and the American Constitution -- racist.
