Even in an exciting election year, all the major news outlets lost about half million viewers apiece last year. I don't know there's anything you can do to make a liberal see another side of things. Whether it's the screaming "progressives" with signs or Katie Couric, there is just nothing inside their brain that can comprehend anything but their viewpoint without thinking it's crazy or a personal attack. So few people can just understand disagreements or different viewpoints anymore. I could easily articulate basic assumptions on the left or right, without prejudice, but liberals seem to be so narcisstic (sp?) that they see any viewpoint as their own as dumb, stupid, crazy, hostile or not worth consideration. Even as they see more of their own fired, they can't comprehend that Fox News exists because there is a marketplace for the other side (that they've helped create), not because of vast ring wing corporate conspiracies.

They hear bits and pieces of it, the NYT version of it, the Limbaugh Sound-Bites, but they certainly do not seek out other opinions. In fact, they reject opposing viewpoints outright ("Fox?!? Are you kidding?!?"). Conservatives have no choice but to be informed of opposing views ,since so much of the media is spouting nothing but, 24/7. That's one of many reasons you can't have an intellectual political discussion with liberals. They have only the slightest understanding of the opposing view (and they're always wrong about what it is -- but they know it always involves starving schoolchildren, give-aways to the rich, and kicking grandma and grandpa out on their keisters). And that's if they have any knowledge of it at all ("Repubulican health care reform proposals?!? There has never BEEN a Republican health care reform proposal!!!"). Being postitively clueless they can't debate the issues at all, so the conversation ALWAYS turns toward minutia; demands for proof, semantics, sources, name-calling, twisted interpertations, etc. At least, that's been MY experience with liberals.

This policy continued at the Times until the early 1960s. It seems they have a long history of avoiding the coverage of points of view with which they disagree.

Their willingness to appoint a proverbial, hall monitor, for conservative "opinion" outlets is absurd on its face. The undercover videos produced by Andrew Breitbart and conceived by Giles and O'keefe were not opinion pieces. They were facts placed into evidence. It would be nice, if the Times et. al. would instead make some attempt to look a little deeper into these facts instead of making them out to be some political ploy designed to take a little sheen off of the President. Which they of course did a great job of. Everyone knows that if something like this had happened at the Heritage Foundation all hell would break loose. They of course don't survive to get money from the Feds, but nevertheless, every effort would be made to take such farce up the chain of command and hang as many notable conservatives as possible. To make this a political issue at first pass makes a sham out of the professional journalist and begs the question, "Who exactly is dealing with facts and who is dealing in opinion?" As I see it, the Times has already passed over any facts that may be there are are well into a recitation of how their opinions usurp any facts we may have to present. Welcome to America, where freedom of the press lies ensconced in the Bill of Rights. Way to go "Press"! As many leave to seek information and facts from less reputable sources, I will stand by as your opinion becomes increasingly irrelevant. The Times still doesn’t get it.
