Yes, the elite media are just that: elite, i.e. a very small group with very good research abilities and very good journalists. And hardly anyone listens to them because the "popular" media like to make things more interesting with 3 word headlines, a snappy story and maybe a few photos of US Marines standing on the corner of a street holding M16s.

All the general public want to know is: Who are the goodies, who are the badies and how much did we kick their arse in yesterday's fighting.

Small group? So: CNN,ABC,CBS,NBC just to name a few in television and The New York Times, USA Today, Chicago Tribute just to name a few newspapers are a small minority? Alex that doesn't seem like a small group to me.

It&#39;s easier to do it the other way, Hank, and, if I might, I would not label the following conservative, merely not overwhelmingly liberal.

Newspapers:

The Washington Times.

The Wall Street Journal

Television news:

FOXNEWS

That constitutes the sum total of the "other-than-liberal" roster in the U.S.

Of course, we OWN talk radio. :D

Al Franken has fallen apart already&#33; :lol:

:lol: No kidding I&#39;d be here all night if I wanted to list all liberal media sources.

Thank goodness we at least have FOX News.

And of course Rush Limbaugh :D

In here, Rush has a standing similar to that of Macbeth; the mere mention of his name drives people mad. :D

Hey, I&#39;ve worked in theatre a lot and am very superstisious about that. We theatre folk prefer The Scottish Play, The Scottish King or The M Word.

And the curse is real&#33;

Of all that, I am aware.

I keep such facts in my vest pocket until an opportune time comes to thrash someone with them.

Beware, sir&#33; :P
