Corporate Media
"...the GOP establishment for years has tied itself at the hip to hate-mongering extremists along the lines of John Hagee, Rod Parsley, Pat Roberston, Ann Coulter, and all sorts of various Instapunks, with no repercussions or accountability whatsoever."
Is there any reason for that other than the full and enthusiastic cooperation of the corporate-owned, profit-driven mass media? No, none. It's the coverage, plain, pure and simple. Big Media is conservative, it likes tax cuts, it loves a war, it thrives best on simplistic arguments and viral tropes. That ain't gonna change until the corporate stranglehold is loosened.
It will be a miracle if Obama can get elected, not because McCain is a formidable adversary, not because the nation isn't bone tired of the neocons, but because the fat-cat oligarchs behind the MSM are terrified of him. To them, it's like Fidel Castro is running for president. They're not going to let it happen.
