I certainly hope so.... ;-)
"The biggest political joke in America is that we have a liberal
press.
It's a joke taken seriously by a surprisingly large number of
people...
The myth of the liberal press has served as a political weapon for
conservative and right-wing forces eager to discourage critical
coverage
of government and cor****ate power ... Americans now have the worst
of both worlds: a press that, at best, parrots the pronouncements
of the
powerful and, at worst, encourages people to be stupid with
pseudo-news
that illuminates nothing but the bottom line."
