Liberal media in America is failing, in favor of the likes of Fox News Channel, as people realize that they’ve basically been had, lo these many years. Most Canadian news media would literally be laughed out of the American market even if there was the slightest chance any American market would buy it. And they’d question our sanity as citizens—moreover they’d question our objective knowledge of world affairs. What they wouldn’t question, after a day or two of CBC, for example, is why we’re such mindless liberal sheep on voting days.

Bill O’Reilly’s show has been the number one cable news show for over 160 weeks in a row. Last night, Bill said this in his talking points memo:
Talking Points Memo
More trouble on the left?
“One major casualty in the war on terror is the liberal press in the USA. Michael Kinsley has been removed as Editorial Director of the LA Times just days after the editor of that paper stepped down. The liberal stronghold PBS has been shaken up big time; Bill Moyers is gone, and the new management is Republican. The Air America radio network continues to fail with catastrophic ratings here in New York City, perhaps the most liberal market in the country. The circulations of long-time liberal newspapers like The Boston Globe and Newsday are falling. And there is not one successful stand-alone liberal commentator on cable television. So why is the liberal media in retreat? The answer is that most Americans are not ideologues; they are just everyday folks who want protection from people who would kill us. Most Americans do not want to hear that the USA is the bad guy in the war on terror, which some liberal media are peddling. They do not feel the mistakes at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay define this country. Media and politicians who continue to run down the USA for ideological reasons will continue to be punished in the marketplace.”
Most Canadian media hasn’t got a clue.
