So, now that there has been a shift in power in Congress, will the MSM start to shift from their a$$

[Pachamama]

kissing of the Bush Administration and GOP and actually become more balanced????

Or will they become even more vicious and instead of "reporting" the news and following stories, trying to instead be tools of the White House?

1. Has their ever been a "liberal" media? nt

[Pachamama]

4. Good question - I remember my Republican father always calling it that in the 80's...

I guess I'm not even sure what a "liberal media" is....

I want a "FAIR" media that does its job and has actual balance of face time for all sides....something I know that I haven't seen since the 80's....

[Subdivisions]

2. I think reinstating the Fairness Doctrine will fix the problem with

the MSM.

Edited to add: Perhaps with sharper teeth.

[Pachamama]

3. I'll second support on reinstating the Fairness Doctrine! That would be a good start!

:applause:

5. No, they are bought and paid for.

Look for them to be hyper-critical of everything the Democrats do.

6. Tonight, when Katie interviewed Nancy,

she said twice, "but Rumsfield offered to resign."
I doubt there'll be much change.

[Berry Cool]

7. Don't be so sure.

New Speaker of the Liberal House: Keith Olbermann!!!

[Pachamama]

9. Thank God for KO! He'll atleast remain a true voice of democracy in this sea of

media whores like the ones at Faux News....

[LeahD]

10. Yes, he was on his toes last night on MSNBC's coverage,

but you could tell he was having a problem restraining himself.....had to report rather than voice his opinion.

[Ignacio Upton]

8. They will still shill for the GOP

Especially if we reinstate the Fairness Doctrine and break up their media monopolies.

[mikehiggins]

11. More vicious and incompetent, not to mention outright lying

The idea that the millenium has somehow arrived because we've managed to eke out a razor thin majority in the Senate (that depends on Jomentum to exist) and taken the House is simply stupid. It ain't that way at all.

We are STILL in the fight of our lives to turn this country around and nothing and nobody can tell me that the GOPuke Bushoids are going to go quietly into the night. It ain't going to happen.

Bush, Cheney, Rove, and the Face from Faux are still out there, and they have no intention of giving up. None whatsoever.

So enjoy today, and then get back to work.
