Looking for a concise demonstration of just how much like GOP trained propagandists most of the pigs, who refer to themselves as journalists or reporters or commentators or news show hosts, are?
If so, read this:

Would that progressives would stop using the Republican terminology when dealing with the GOP's 24/7 misinformation campaign. Not a day goes by that I don't see the term 'liberal media' used as irony on liberal leaning blogs. Once, twice. That's interesting. Time after time? Day after day?
The blogosphere has many progressive voices who are great writers. Couldn't some of these coin a phrase that identifies the scum that pretends to report the news but instead massages it into GOP propaganda? Then work to turn that phrase, or word, into instant dirty word recognition like the GOP's media scum have done with the word 'liberal.'
-------------------
My other request into the void is to turn the word liberal back into a word that has a meaning, rather than an epithet controlled by GOP worms.
From
Wikipedia:
Liberalism is a broad array of related ideas and theories of government that consider individual liberty to be the most important political goal.[1] Modern liberalism has its roots in the Age of Enlightenment.
Liberalism emphasizes individual rights and equality of opportunity. Different forms of liberalism may propose very different policies, but they are generally united by their support for a number of principles, including extensive freedom of thought and speech, limitations on the power of governments, the rule of law, the free exchange of ideas, a market or mixed economy, and a transparent system of government.[2] All liberals — as well as some adherents of other political ideologies — support some variant of the form of government known as liberal democracy, with open and fair elections, where all citizens have equal rights by law.[3]

Here's some of what
Conservapedia says about liberals:
Historical Liberalism
In history, the word "liberal" has meant different things at different times, and was associated with individual liberty in prior centuries. In the postwar period, liberals supported government intervention in the economy and welfare state policies, as well as peaceful coexistence with the communist block, which are not liberal policies in the sense of classical liberalism. After the end of the cold war, with the demise of socialism and communism, many liberals embraced some ideas from economic neo-liberalism, and coined it the "Third Way". In the area of national security and foreign policy liberals in the U.S. failed to define a consistent stance, even after the events of 9/11 and the beginning of the war in Iraq. Liberals generally support affirmative action, gay marriage, and abortion.[13]
Original meaning: Classical Liberalism
Liberalism is a political philosophy with freedom as its core value. The term was originally applied to supporters of individual liberties and equal rights, but, in America, the term has come to represent a movement of social change that often conflicts with conservative values such as moral values and tradition.
The phrase "liberals in the U.S. failed to define a consistent stance even after the events of 9/11 and the beginning of the war in Iraq" caught my eye. --Is consistent stance anything like a wide stance? Never mind.-- But it is an interesting choice of words. Stance instead of position or reasoning or conclusion. Stance has to do with posture and posturing. Not with information, reasoning and judgement.

Added: It's really comical (in a depressing sort of way) that McCain is now attacking the media as a campaign strategy. The media who have doted on him for years. The media who have covered up about his lies, his temper, his meanness, his pettiness. The media who have attended his barbecues. The media that pushed his image as a maverick. Now he's using them as fodder in his campaign for the Presidency. Couldn't happen to nicer 'people.'
