Why?
Because for the Conservative 47% of the active electorate, the day Willard sewed up the Republican primary was the day it stopped mattering to them what lies Willard shits down their throat. Willard has calculated (correctly) that their bottomless, mindless, berserker hatred for the Kenyan Usurper means he can get away with saying and doing literally anything and then completely reversing himself hours later and so unless he transforms himself into a Scary Democrat Negro (hence my graphic), he has the base locked down.
Willard has calculated (correctly) that the average "undecided" voter is an idiot who is barely aware that Barack Obama is President, much less who said what when. Lies? Truth? All the "undecided" knows for sure is that people on both side should stop being so mean!
Willard has calculated (correctly) that most of American media is a joke run by hacks with the moral compasses of Tijuana donkey show pimps, who are congenitally unable to call a liar a liars, and who get paid on commission based on each time they say "Both Sides Do It" when a Republican shits the bed in public.
Pointing to each morning's fresh lies from Team Romney, or the Republican Congress, or Boss Limbaugh and his legions of imitators or just random Conservative idiots with spluttering apoplexy has become the the bread and butter of Liberal teevee, radio and print. And good on them (us) for providing that service.
It does, however, beg the question, "Who the Hell are they talking to?" Because there is no referee in this fight, kids.

Ain't that the truth? Living overseas, it never fails to astonish me how, whenever I make it back to the States for a visit, the news media seem to be even worse than the last time I was there. Walter Cronkite and Edward R. Murrow are spinning in their graves.

(2 posts)I'm not sure there is any such thing as liberal or any other type of journalism these days. It's all soundbites or bunk. Facts and truth don't matter only the ratings and money brought in matter.

(238 posts)The media is Only as liberal and the conservatives that own it. I used to think that CNN was neutral but lately they are close to being the same as Fox. Did they get bought out?
