I think you are gonna have to face facts that just as the way-liberal left is dieing so is the way-right conservative part of the Republican party. The Conservatism that you know from years ago (Neo Cons included) is dead. Long Live the Moderates!


The "way-left liberal" isn't dying. It is, in fact, what's killing off conservatism through every medium.

Though I'll agree that it isn't dying, I'll disagree that the leftist liberal end is winning through the media. Nothing about the media has changed since before Bush was reelected, and if the media didn't win anything then, it ain't winning it now.



I never thought the media changed when Bush was re-elected. I felt the media became vitriolically partisan at precisely the time Bush won the Nov 2000 election, and went on that way for 8 unrelenting years.

And I believe the sheer repetition of that vitriol is having its effect. From the repetitive inflammatory partisan remarks of Democrat Senators and Congressmen in Washington, to similar less-than-objective coverage by partisan liberal reporters and pundits, to the partisan venom of Mahr, Letterman, Moore, Olbermann and others.

Again, there are some valid points made about the clear failings of W.Bush and the NeoCons.

But it is so intermingled with slander, personal insults and wild conspiracy theories, that even though I was never an enthusiastic supporter of Bush, I often found myself rallying to the Republicans' defense, from the sheer bias and unfairness of the collective media's lack of objectivity, and outright viciousness.
And most of all, the media's knee-jerk reflexive anti-Americanism.
