I don't agree, it doesn't pass Hanlon's razor test. The broadcast
opinion media was pioneered by conservatives, like Limbaugh. The
liberals have not been able to penetrate that market, yet. Liberal
thought still holds sway in the print news opinion pages. My favorite
liberal news source is Utne Reader. It is not as good since Eric Utne
was forced out, but it still covers many thought provoking topics that
should make ANY conservative think about what they believe.
