Some people don't get it

So I'm playing basketball with some friends and one liberal the other day. We know we are both on the other side of the fence, but something set this guy off and he goes into how terrible the Bush administration is. He's somewhat informed and he spokes about Bush's links to the Venzuelan Coup back in 2002. He said the Bush was behind it. I explained that that wasn't totally true. Bush may have known about the coup in advance. He may have even cooperated with the coup. But the coup was home grown. So this liberal says to me: You must listen to Fox News. Fox News????!!!! You're saying the news I listen to is biased!!!!???? When people are calling for Dan Rather's head and you are complaining that that news I listen to is biased????!!!

That's why the liberals are who they are. They think I'm stupid and ill-informed, because I have conservative views and love my Country. I happen to believe that all news is biased. Right now, all the news is just about entertainment and doesn't at all inform or put events in context.

But the liberals just don't miss a beat. The Dan Rather/CBS controversy is nothing. I would have expected a liberal (or progressive or whatever they call themselves these days) to at least wait a few weeks before beginning to make comments about how the right leaning media is biased. At least wait for the Rather scandal to die down. But they are right and we are wrong.

I just want to say that I do listen to left leaning media. I listen to NPR, for goodness sake. Some of the stories are good. Some are biased. I listed to one the other day that praised Fidel Castro and Cuban Communist Party. Nevertheless, all media is biased. The question is whether you are smart enough to see through the BS and come to your own conclusions.
