Indulging in Cowardice and Thuggery, Liberals Shoot Themselves in the Foot Over Nevada Debate
Posted by Dave Blount at March 10, 2007 10:06 AM
Bowing to pressure from the lunatic Left (as represented by Moveon.org and slobberingly pandered to by the despicable Breck Girl), the Nevada State Democratic Party is pulling out of a presidential debate that was scheduled for August 14 in Reno on the grounds that it is was to be cohosted by Fox News, which they do not regard as sufficiently left-wing in its outlook.
Liberalism survives in this country primarily because it holds the upper hand in media and education, which are key to disseminating propaganda. Who can blame progressives for wanting to return to the days when they had a complete monopoly on television news?
But here they might be overplaying their hand. They hope to discredit Fox, by getting people to accept that if it isn't decidedly liberal, in can't be a credible source of news. But the message they might get through is that they are afraid to debate in any forum not controlled by their own advocates — which doesn't exactly inspire confidence.
Since conservatives generally try to play fair, the usual double standard will be applied: conservatives will appear in liberal media, but liberals won't appear in conservative media. Does this prevent Fox or anyone else from challenging liberals' media hegemony? Or does it allow conservatives to get their point across to twice as many people? When is the last time you saw Shrillary or the Goracle on Fox News?
Another result of liberal attempts to boycott any outlets that aren't in their corner is the further fracturing of our country not only into two camps, but into two realities, in which people hear different news from different people about a different world. Already the land of libs differs so radically from our own that a cheesy clown like the Breck Girl is considered a credible candidate for President.
