Of course, it might be considerable, that I live in a "red" state, a right-wing, republican/libertarian mecca, if you will, home of such giants of right-wing stoneheadedness as Arpaio, and Jans both Brewer and Napolitano. (NJ: red or blue? IHDK) .....From my view, there's so much right-wingedness, that the only political thought that gets into the view of the public that is NOT right, be it simple news-media or what-not, is that false-flag left-wing malarky that has been so finely crafted since Obama took office, purely to sap the foundation of any left movements before they can establish. (Asking a TP-er for advice on what our country should do is like asking Rage Against the Machine what our country should do: "I don't know man, but I know what they SHOULDN'T do!")

And I do worry about all the right-wing propaganda I get when I turn on the TV. (Part of why i threw my TV out.) I seriously doubt Osama Bin Laden was killed, by us, if he ever existed. In a democratic presidency term, with several wars on and the upper hand ("reportedly") in the middle east situation, why would we care about Bin Laden dying? More importantly, WHO would care? The right-wing bodies that initiated the 'war on turban' in the first place, thereby protecting both their own reputations (increasingly less an issue as people begin to lose the ability to do as hanna says and self-document [remember the old prole in 1984, who couldn't remember what it was like before? case-in-point] ) as well as, and most importantly, their chances to retake control of the country at the next election. What better way to secure the chance of republican redomination then to send back news to the homeland of our "boys," happy as hunters holding dead ducks, saying they "got 'er done"?

Most importantly, in the country that's the home of the phrase "Question authority," why do we (USA) accept what we're told as true without verification? Right and left are just two clever reflections from the same mirror. They're bullies who've been turned against each other, Hatfields and McCoys. And their real purpose is to push against each other, and minimize chance that any effective intellectual property ever make it past them. You would think with all the great minds that have come and gone in this country, someone would've picked up on that.. but, promise someone a tax shelter and my, look at them run..

Do you mean NBC, CBS, ABC, PBS, MSNBC, NPR, NY Times, Washington Post, Huffington Post are right wing? Can you give me examples of all the right media in the USA (except for Fox of course) you mentioned?

NJ is very liberal. I think the state motto should be "NJ, why am I still here?"
