Liberals R Us

Responding to whines from the McCain camp, John Brummett goes looking for the so-called liberal media. He doesn't find many, though he didn't stoop so low as to survey the trashy throwaway tabloid market. Then, he'd have found at least one example. So that must be it. We're responsible for John McCain's awful showing.

The RightWinG media in LR/Central Arkansas:

KARK---Nexstar owned and morning co-host a fundie lay minister.
KTHV--A Bob Jones U graduate as a featured reporter
KATV--pandering to East Arkansas/South Arkansas pearl-clutchers.
KLRT--affiliated with NewsCorp's broadcast network

kaRn radio--conservative talk radio
KANX/KBDO--local arm of American Family Radio's dominionist propaganda network.
KVTN/KVTJ--pro religious right Television

Arkansas DEMOCRAT(DIXIECRAT)-gazette
Arkansas Business
Stephens Media Group--Pine Bluff Commercial

That leaves KUAR radio, and its generally neutral. And the Arkansas Times which is the only true "liberal" media in LR

All the people screaming about the "liberal" media ONLY watch/listen to FAUX News and "Comedian" Rush Limbauagh. Readin' generally ain't a strong suit for any of them. Good viewer's guides, Ms. Haley. I'm shocked anytime KARK even mentions Barack in their newscasts.

As things in central Arkansas are bad enough, go to Star City. Our two newspapers--one a long time traditional SEARK weekly which is generally socially conservative, and the radical newcomer published in the nearby Country Village which is *extreme* far right. The later paper this week published verbatim an "editorial" by the AR Family (fascist) Council urging voters to vote against Amendment 3 (the lottery).

Neither of these rags are online.

So should I assume from your premise that MSNBC is 'fair and balanced'?

"[G]o to Star City . . . [and] the nearby Country Village . . ."

Ahh, Twinkle Town! Love the upscale steak house and the bakery in the village. Go Bulldogs!

I AM PROUD TO SAY THAT I AM AN AMERICAN, ONE OF THOSE FAR RIGHT CONSERVATIVES WHO HAS ALREADY CAST HIS VOTE FOR MCCAIN PALIN, IM ONE OF THOSE WHO STILL BELIEVES THAT GOD GUNS AND GUTS MADE THIS COUNTRY GREAT, AND NOT THE FAR LEFT WELFARE AND GIMME PACKAGES THATONLY GETS VOTES WHERE THE TED KENNEDYS AND BARNEY FRANKS CAN SIT THERE TILL THEY DIE AND DO EVERYTHING TO TO TURN THIS INTO A SOCIALIST OR COMMUNIST COUNTRY

Considering that Obama is NOT a liberal, he's a right centrist, MSNBC is NOT liberal.

I would venture to say there has never really been ANY liberal mainstream media in the US. The liberal media has all been out of the mainstream, because the big businesses all run the mainstream media, therefore it is all conservative. Or at least pro-corporate.

That liberal media bit is just that, a bit, a gambit, a con, a scam, to try to get people to go even more conservative/corporate so they will allow the working people to be bled by the parasites that infest our financial sector.
