There were many of the media that when confronted with the imbalance of the political spectrum . The media squarely retorted that the Republicans are in majority and control power. Therefore they recieve the bulk of the media. So what is the problem now that the Dems are in the majority power? Shouldn't the media give the lioons share of exposure to the Dems now. More interviews and such???? Now I do remember distinctly when Republicans roam the airwaves of all media exclusively.

They are owned by a major corporation and their interests are in making money, not in informing us so we can be better citizens.

The neocon wave has crested and broken, and their spokespersons--like that piece of excrement Glen Beck--have no credibility; they are preaching to a choir that's getting smaller every day. In terms of sheer marketing savvy, you'd think cable news would at least balance their commentators. Olbermann's a lonely progressive; Lou Dobbs, if he'd ever drop that immigration rant, is consistently outraged by the Bush Administration, but he seems like CNN's Huey Long. [O'Reilly gets dibs on Father Coughlin, along with James Dobson] The news establishment still running scared from the Bush-Fox "far-left" media straw man; the MSM seems to be in a contest to the death with the Democratic Congress to determine who is the more useless and gutless. Neither, I guess, can afford to offend their corporate bosses. MSNBC and CNN, even moreso, don’t GET it.
