More on liars in the media:

Remember how, after the 2006 election, the media were quick to say that "America is still a conservative country," even though the Democrats trounced the GOP in the midterm election? Well, a report by Media Matters and the Campaign for America's Future show the exact opposite: a majority of Americans espouse progressive views, not conservative views. In fact, America was at its most conservative in the mid-1990's, right around the time of the "Republican Revolution" in 1994. Sadly, the GOP-led Congress of that time did not fulfill its end of their "Contract with America," which, one may guess, led people away from conservative ideals.

I'm sure the 68% of Americans who think this country is presently on the "wrong track" had something to do with the Democrats' win in 2006 AND the trend of America becoming more of a progressive nation. Screw the 19% who think things are going just fine; most of them are the pro-life/pro-war crowd, and the top 1% of "earn"ers.

In other media falsifications:
-Pat Robertson claims Islam is not a religion, but a "worldwide political movement meant (bent?) on domination." I think it's time for ol' Pat there to hang 'em up before he says something else this stupid.
-Bill O'Reilly also has no clue what he says when he opens his mouth. Apparently, when CNN and MSNBC air pictures of the violence in Iraq, they do so because they "delight in showing" it because "they want Americans to think badly of President Bush." He also accuses those networks of "helping the terrorists by reporting useless explosions." I wonder how he feels when FOX News shows the same footage? In other, and equally shocking, news, O'Reilly actually admits that "Bush may be an idiot"!!!
