Eric Alterman Sheds a Single Tear

Posted by Bill

I meant to note the new DC daily with a rightie slant: The Examiner. Noted.

It joins the far-uber-right Washington Times and the middle-of-the-road-but-in-the-GOPs-pocket Washington Post.

The rest is fine, but once again you make me laugh, describing the WaPo as "in the GOP's pocket." It's all a conspiracy, isn't it, Don? Was it Dana Milbank's daily shredding of the White house in "analysis" pieces that tipped you off?

Hey, I'm just hoping that Rather will stay around long enough to interview Al Sharpton on his KFC boycott. Messages by detainees complaining of beheading, sexual misconduct and foul play smuggled out by Sharpton (at personal risk of his own digestive well-being) in hollowed out eggs will attempt to show the chickens in question live in similar conditions to their brother prisoners at Abu Ghraib prison.

Don Myers: Very simple: WaPo...GOP...*snicker, snicker*...Have you ever even read the WaPo?

btw, I am from NoVA and get the WaPo daily.

Hans & Bill:

I will admit that I'm not a WaPo subscriber, and have only read bits and pieces of it on the web, so I haven't studied it with Talmudic intensity. Therefore it's possible I'm being too rough when I describe the entire paper as "in the GOP's pocket." (Hyperbole? on a BLOG? Who ever heard of such a thing?)

But I do know that the repeated charges of "liberal bias" in the mainstream media is hogwash, and that everything I've read in the WaPo wraps even the mildest protests of Dubya in a forest of bowing, scrapping, and sniveling.

If they run a banner headline, 64 point type, screaming...oh, I dunno..."RICE LIES TO CONGRESS", then I'll buy it.

The corporate media exists to serve the interests of the corporations, NOT the people, dude.

Don -

You esentially want the MSM to echo your far leftist 'zine subscriptions, and define the term "liberal" as "radical leftist that uses shallow emotional reads of news and issues in hyperbolic language."

Posted by: Bill from INDC [TypeKey Profile Page] at February 2, 2005 03:07 PM

Whereas you've been defining 'liberal' as "anyone who doesn't believe Our Glorious Leader's every utturance and praise His holy name."

So...other than projecting your fear and hatred onto me, did you have a point? Because if so, I missed it.

For ecample, are you saying that the corporate media DOESN'T serve the corporate interest?

Posted by: Don Myers [TypeKey Profile Page] at February 3, 2005 06:25 AM

Don, you express yourself in childish hyperbole. As if the GOP has a lock on "corporate interest." I'm done with you. Bye bye.
