Came across this yesterday, thought it was pertinent:
<<Absolute proof the media ain't liberal
By now you know of the FCC's pending plan to allow Rupert Murdoch to
personally control everything you see and think. (OK, I'm exaggerating.
Slightly.)
If you'd like that not to happen, go hang out for a minute with
MediaReform.net, the Consumers Union, MoveOn.org, or FAIR, to name a few
folks who can help.
Incidentally, there's one hell of a huge point to make of all this: if
the media really was in liberal hands, then centralization of that power
would be absolutely terrifying to the right wing. It would be all you
ever heard about.
And yet those guys are strangely silent. On their websites, neither Bill
O'Reilly nor Rush Limbaugh so much as mention the issue, even once, at
least as far as I can find.
Point this out to people with ears and brains.
It really should be the end of the "liberal media" argument.>>
