Isn't it sad that so many can look at so much and know so little !!
How could a liberal actually be upset with the liberal media for their coverage of the 2012 presidential election? Well, Daniel Froomkin of The Huffington Post (formerly of the Washington Post) is furious. His complaint carried the headline "How the Mainstream Press Bungled the Single Biggest Story of the 2012 Campaign".
What would that story be? Namely, the radical right-wing, off-the-rails lurch of the Republican Party, both in terms of its agenda and its relationship to the truth.
Head Scratch Time. Who in the media didn't
identify the Grand Old Party as burdened, infected and/or poisoned by their conservatives?Froomkin...
The fact that the world is so black and white to Republicans, and that everything is so self-evident, and painfully obvious, makes me wonder if you might be glossing over some of the complexities...
The right offers conservatives something they desperately want, which is a very binary, good vs. evil, conception of the world. I often wish it was that simple, but I just can't prescribe to that viewpoint. Too often, I've seen those "golden rules" that are so central to conservatism fall apart under scrutiny, and I've seen the way reality unfolds refuse to admit to the order we try to impose onto it.
