I think Greenwald is mistaking liberal for Democrat, and conservative for Republican. The media is generally pretty good at not being blatantly partisan, but I rarely hear good conservative voices in the newspapers.
Jew — What definition of “conservative” are you using? If by conservative you mean paleoconservative (as opposed to neoconservative), then I’d agree.
Yeah, the lines are being blurred and the definitions are changing. Neoconservatism, which masks itself as Conservatism, actually pays homage to the Marxist philosophies of Leon Trotsky. In many respects the Left/Right paradigm has become increasingly indistinguishable in terms of actual practice, particularly in terms of foreign policy objectives. The most recent examples of their approach toward Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, and Russia prove this. There is very little difference in actuality, although the rhetoric is somewhat different. The reason for this seems to be the infiltration of the two parties by globalist interests introduced by elites – the Council on Foreign Relations, for instance. Effectively, this narrows the boundaries of debate. This, of course, confirms this infamous and prophetic quote from Carroll Quigley, Bill Clinton’s mentor:
“The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to the doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can ‘throw the rascals out’ at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy.”
We don’t actually have a two party system. We have a one party system with dueling factions that don’t always agree. One faction may be more aggressive than the other, but both of them have essentially the same goals in mind. That doesn’t mean there aren’t any good people in politics, but it does mean that most of the people are corrupted by the system.
Anyone who denies that the mainstream media leans hard left has his head so far into the sand, he’s irrelevant to any conversation about the media. The MSM is prima facie liberal.
What do you define as MSM?
“What do you define as MSM?”
I think that was directed at Darius, but let me give you my take. The mainstream media consists of, but is not limited to the major media conglomerates that have effectively monopolized the release of information to the public through concentration of ownership. These include Disney, National Amusements, Time Warner, Viacom, News Corp, Bertelsmann AG, Sony, General Electric, Vivendi SA, Clear Channel, and Lagardère Group. There are others, but these are the biggest media corporations. I believe this would be consistent with the dictionary definition of mainstream.
