If we used our "eyes and ears" for live reporting we might have thought
the crowd at the Howard Dean career-busting event had their hands
neatly folded in their laps while he shrieked for no reason, right?

At the Bush event, everybody who thinks anybody boo'd are liberals,
everybody who thinks nobody ever boo'd onc,e is just a common-sense
person.

Any report that displeases a Republican is "just another liberal media
outlet".  Anybody who couches it in a way so as to make Republicans
look good is "just reporting the facts".

And that's what makes every single reference to the "liberal media" a
political propaganda construct.

CNN reported that 10 nobel prize-winners in economics had signed a
letter condemning Bushes purported "economic policies".  The reporter,
helping a "balanced view" reminded viewers that ten prize-winners may
seem like a lot. But in fact there have been a whopping 50 since 1930!
So 10 isn't everybody!  She didn't point out how many of the remainging
40 were still alive and/or how many of them weren't contacted regarding
Bush's policies, don't speak English, or aren't interested in painting
a target on their ass for the Administration to blackball in future
circumstances, etc.  Apparently all the remaining 40, so her
propgandistic inference goes, are proud Bush supporters.

And nobody carped about jackbooted Republikan media reports on that
one, or the other 30 reports that day.
