Democratic Underground - DU and FR...who's on first?

I read this FreeRepublic thread below (posted on another DU discussion), and was struck at how similar it reads to our complaints here at DU, albeit from the other side.

**************************************************
Let's take a look and do some basic comparisons...
**************************************************

"Stop the knee jerk reaction every time the liberal media write an article telling us that President Bush and the GOP are finished."

An identical sentiment on DU would be:
"Stop the knee jerk reaction every time the MSM write an article telling us that President Bush and the GOP are great."

**************************************************
Here's another one:
**************************************************
"Ask the White House to fight back the lies and distortions of liberal and their media whores."

Would translate to:
"Ask your Congress critter to fight back the lies and distortions of the WH and the MSM."

My point here, specifically, is that both DU and FR see the media as being in the hands of the other. What this says to me is that the MSM a.k.a the 'liberal media' are actually in the hands of neither.

The truth, I fear, is that we are in THEIR hands, which is a chilling thought.

Just wanted to share that.

Incidentally, I don't know how anyone can call broadcast news 'liberal'. :eyes:
