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.
