Not true. I think it's more a point that broad mainstream writes them a pass to their actions more often than not and doesn't go as far as to justify their liberality, where it reports about it at all. That's why, despite a good deal of criticism and reporting only coming from a single new/information channel that can be called conservative/moderate, the liberals can't buy a break.
You can also think about it the other way, if you don't want to give value to the conservative/moderate informants, then you have to say that the people dislike some of the tendencies of the liberal democrats for their own reasons. Whether or not they're reported, ignored, or they try to justify it, a lot of people, when they learn about it, don't like what they hear.
Could someone fill me in on information Air America Radio that just closed and went into bankruptcy. Was the problem just financial, was it also ratings or listenership, or does that kind of thing go hand in hand in radio?
I'm with
>>2 on this. Both sides of the political spectrum and everyone up and down the alignment chart does this to an absurd extent to the detriment of actually useful legislation. The Democrats, I think, have been worse about this for years since they use this carrot on a stick to rope in communities and cities whose major demographic is African American (I'm sure Mexican American is falling into this as well ...) and yet never deliver anything useful. Just things that look like they should work, may for only a short time but nothing more, then promising more of that before it stops looking as useful.
