Republicans love to complain about that liberal media bias that keeps Republicans from getting a fair break, they say.  The tweeting twit likes to call it the \u201cLame Stream Media\u201d.  Unless you just crawled out from under a rock, you should realize that the \u201cliberal media\u201d isn\u2019t.  Republicans dominate the Sunday morning talk shows, and most of the rare Democrats that do appear are DINOs.  The occasional real Democrats are often pummeled by their hosts.  For example here\u2019s how ABC hosts and Senator Shelby (R-AL) ganged up on Robert Reich.<\/font><\/p>\n

Most mainstream TV is infotainment at best and infoganda in average.  On the left, we have Rachel Maddow, Ed Schultz, Lawrence O\u2019Donnell, and occasionally Cenk Uygur.  In a week, we get Keith Olbermann back.  That\u2019s all.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
