For those people with a serious eye on the liberal media, try to suppress giggles at the grand theories of one George Monbiot, writing in the Guardian U.K., who despite all his talk about conservative “fairylands” must have missed the reality of Rathergate and all the other liberal media excesses:

The role of the media corporations in the US is similar to that of repressive state regimes elsewhere: they decide what the public will and won’t be allowed to hear, and either punish or recruit the social deviants who insist on telling a different story. The journalists they employ do what almost all journalists working under repressive regimes do: they internalise the demands of the censor, and understand, before anyone has told them, what is permissible and what is not. So, when they are faced with a choice between a fable which helps the Republicans, and a reality which hurts them, they choose the fable.
