If there was a liberal media bias, why did we hear about John Kerry last week?

This is where I get confused about the whole liberal media thing. It seems to me to be so closer to right than left. Is it just perspective? Someone mentioned that there are sheep in America who believe the liberal media. I always felt it was the sheep who were following the Bush administration, not unlike Jim Jones in Guyana.

Don't drink the Kool-aid, folks. It's just not worth it.

Tw's Soviet Communist notions of history trip him once again, and I've got the fool by the balls.

It is a matter of historical fact, tw, that Allende's Cabinet officials were beginning to put plans in motion to consolidate their oligarchy's grip on power by killing off approximately 9 million Chileans, within about the first Allende term in office. No visible remorse, no worries about it, nothing but a Mao-style climb to power at the pinnacle of millions of innocents slain for the heinous crime of holding views unpopular with the regime. This is the kind of thing you like? Fried yarbles to you. In the Allende Cabinet, it was the Communists who were the moderates.

You can imagine what a mess such a set of policymakers would have made of the economy.

The total butcher's bill for all seventeen years of Pinochet was approximately 1370. His death squads seem of a rather conservative bent next to your heroes, eh? You may take your tens of thousands, tw, spindle them, and insert them. I've said to you before that you do not have a shred of moral superiority to claim, and your petty resentments merely exacerbate your condition. There's another word that rhymes with exacerbate that describes a good many of your doings here.

Turning to Spexx: if there were NO media bias, 1) why are they so uniformly registered Democrats, rather than more widely distributed across the political spectrum? 2) why aren't at least half the journalists pro-gun, and thus favoring ALL of the human rights?

Mari, simply go back to the thread where you first broached the idea of discussing/disputing South American history, and you will find the reply, at some length, that I made then. I doubt the scholar I quoted some and summarized more of, and named there, would quite qualify as (ha ha ha) "yellow" (Oh ho ho ho ho ho!) "press!" You seemed rather to lose interest in following the matter up just about then, so I let it ride.

Bruce: tripe, or bollocks, your choice. I am not going to be influenced by stupid, collectivism-tainted ideas. Do you have as much presence of mind? You always could, you know.

The left-of-center believe they are the center. This is a poorly-informed point of view, against which I set my face.
