Why Does the Media Still Listen to Joe Lieberman?Paul Hogarthbyline‚ Dec. 05‚ 2006It’s incredible to what extent the mainstream media will go out of its way to undermine the new Democratic majority in Congress. First, they tried to spin the anti-Bush mandate of the November 7th elections as a victory for centrism – as they blatantly lied about how the newly elected Democrats are “conservative.” Second, they used Nancy Pelosi’s support for Jack Murtha as House Majority Leader (and his loss to Steny Hoyer) as evidence that the party is “weak” and “divided” on the War in Iraq. Most recently, they took a testy exchange between President Bush and Senator-elect Jim Webb (where it’s obvious that Bush bullied him) – and blamed Webb for being a “boor.” And for crying out loud, what’s with the constant love affair with Joe Lieberman – and the delusion that he somehow represents the Democratic Party? |
