Is it just me or is the right wing media currently collectively heading off the cliff like a bunch of lemmings?
We all know that Fox News Radio's John Gibson (and that's his only gig currently, because his Fox News Channel programme, The Big Story, has been sidelined due to continuing election coverage) has a bias against Keith Olbermann, but I notice just recently, via the OlbermannWatch YouTube channel, a minor league talk show host in the states called Mark Levin get in on the act recently, refering to MSNBC as "MS-LSD".
LSD, as in the drug, you know, the one that causes 'trips' as they're known. Mark Levin is suggesting that the whole MSNBC network is basically on one big hallucenagenic trip!
All the common Republican talking points also came out, such as NBC being in the pay of the Democrats, such as Media Matters being a George Soros front group, and that Olbermann gets his talking points from the Daily Kos blog. It's like they hope we haven't noticed that a lot of their talking points come direct from the Republican party, and the Bush Whitehouse. It's been widely reported that Conservative talk radio hosts have regularly been invited up to the Whitehouse for briefings during this Bush presidency, a presidency that has made a joke out of the United States of America.
This kind of partisan hackery and propoganda has got to STOP! It does nothing for the political process, and brings an already disreputable American media only further into disrepute and shame. Is it any wonder that more and more Americans are choosing to look outside their borders for reputable news sources. The American media had better get its act together and realise we live in a global village, and the kind of partisan propoganda that is spewed by the American media is going to only further drive people away from American media to overseas media. It's time they listened and learned. I won't hold my breath waiting...
