Funny all we ever talk about is Republican/rightwing talking points...
If the corporate owned mainstream media is "liberal", how come they only talk about Republican/rightwing talking points such as attacks on: Muslims, Mosques, lesbians, Rev Wright, Black Panthers, the unemployed, people on welfare, people on food stamps, Van Jones, ACORN, Shirley Sherrod, Black Panthers, Bill Ayers, community organizers, Hispanics? All of these people are Americans, btw, so this is unAmerican and anti-American and it comes from the right who say they are "patriotic".
And how come, on the so-called "liberal media", we only see: Sarah Palin, Liz Cheney, Newt Gingrich, Dick Cheney, Rush Limbaugh, the Tea Party, Joe the Plumber?
How come the "liberal media" has defined Democrats, who aren't liberal, as "liberals", and completely ignore and blacklist the real liberals like: Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, Cynthia McKinney, Ralph Nader?
The answer is this: the mainstream media is not "liberal". It is owned by 5 huge corporations, and last time I checked, corporations aren't "liberal". Who are the "liberals" who own the "liberal media"? You can't name them because they don't exist. Rush Limbaugh can't name them. No one can or has ever named them, because "liberals" don't own the "liberal media". So, let's stop calling it the "liberal media". It is owned by corporations who show the views of: corporations themselves who own it, the wealthiest Americans who aren't "liberal", and the military.
Republicans and rightwingers have taken over what is referred to, by them ironically, as the "liberal media". All that counts when proving whether the "liberal media" is really liberal, is: WHO is on it (see above), WHO OWNS it (corporations and NO "liberals"), and what they say (see above). So, where is the proof that the "liberal media" is liberal? There is no proof. It's just Republicans and rightwing media personalities saying it's "liberal" with no proof at all.
The Republican Noise Machine
David Brock, the reformed conservative noise-maker, on how the Right has sabotaged journalism, democracy, and truth.As a young journalist in the 1990s, David Brock was a key cog the Republican noise machine. Writing for the American Spectator, a conservative magazine funded by billionaire Richard Mellon Scaife, Brock gained fame for his attack pieces on Anita Hill and President Bill Clinton. Then, in 2002, Brock came clean. In his memoir, Blinded by the Right, Brock admitted that his work was based on lies and distortion, and part of a coordinated smear campaign funded by wealthy right wing groups to discredit Clinton and confuse the public.
Since then, Brock has continued to expose the conservative media onslaught. In his newest book, The Republican Noise Machine, Brock documents how right-wing groups pressure the media and spread misinformation to the public. It's easy to see how this is done.
Fringe conspiracies and stories will be kept alive by outlets like Rush Limbaugh, the Washington Times, and the Drudge Report, until they finally break into the mainstream media.
Media groups like Brent Bozell's Media Research Center have spent 30 years convincing the public that the media is, in fact, liberal. As Brock says, it's all a sham: "I have seen, and I know firsthand, indeed from my own pen, how the organized Right has sabotaged not only journalism but also democracy and truth."

Noam Chomsky: "The Myth of the 'Liberal Media' - Manufacturing Consent" -
If the media is "liberal", and they have 8 years of hundreds if not thousands of video clips of George W. Bush extolling the virtues of Islam and Muslims, why aren't they playing them??? Have you seen these on TV? Or do you see Sarah Palin and Newt Gingrich Mosque-bashing?
President George W. Bush said "Islam is a noble faith"
"Islam brings hope and comfort",says President George W.Bush
One rightwing radio hatemonger down, many more to go: "doctor" Laura "NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER" Schlessinger steps down in disgrace; blames not herself, but Media Matters For America (see David Brock above):
"Dr. Laura's radio career ended in disgrace tonight because of the bigoted, ugly and hateful remarks made on her show. Americans have had enough. Listeners are now holding hosts, affiliates, and sponsors accountable for the offensive and inexcusable content on the airwaves."
"doctor" Laura lashes out at Media Matters...for pointing out her racist remarks!!!
"doctor" Laura blames Media Matters for America's advertiser boycott campaign:
