Is the MSM Becoming More Red?

With two conservatives, Anibal Cavaco Silva of Portugal and Stephen Harper of Canada both becoming Heads of State in their respective countries, one has to wonder which way the tide is shifting. Stephen Harper, like Angela Merkel of Germany, campaigned on the idea that he would like to improve relations with the US and let me just say "That is F****ing great." (By the way I just put that F****ing great part in there because this post started sounding like a news piece and we shall have none of that.) Anyway, to my point. Who is next to collapse under the weight of the Elephant? Could it be the Main Stream Media? Are the networks and papers finally going to tell us the news from both sides of the aisle? Probably not, at least not fully or not for a long while, but they might have made some improvements. Conservative commentator Bill Bennett, just joined former Republican congressman J.C. Watts as commentators on CNN. Also, Air America's financial troubles continue with inflated payrolls, Al Franken earning 2 million and some loss of support, their NY affiliate earning 2 Million just to air the show. And I have to say this sort of news leads me to squeel! Grim times for the MSM. Good times for squeeling. EEEEEEEH!

I don't know about this. Here is a direct quote from Stephen Harper: "The United States defends its sovereignty and the Canadian government will defend our sovereignty," and, "It is the Canadian people we get our mandate from, not the ambassador of the United States." Doesn't exactly sound like the United States flag waver you make him out to be. Although the rest of the article I read, concerning sending military ice-breakers to the Arctic to assert "Canadian dominance" there certainly does paint a conservative picture. Way to go Canada, you will lord over the Artic with an iron fist! Just don't stick your tongue on it.

I don't think I went that far. I said "improve relations" not "become our lap dog."

But isn't that how one improves relations with the U.S.? That's how I prefer it, anyway.

You realize that "Red" used to, and probably still does, mean Communist.

Yeah...I wish I knew how blue state red state came to be. Any suggestions?

Oh Fryanegg,
You make us feel so humble with your down home sensibilities.

Wow, that was practically a haiku. I can do better.

Oh, why is red red?
Color of communism
What a huge bummer

Bill Bennett a conservative, or maybe just a bit more? Isn’t he the former Reagan appointee that suggested last year a genocidal alternative for reducing crime? Bennett said “if you wanted to reduce crime, you could—if that were your sole purpose—you could abort every black baby in this country and your crime rate would go down." How red is red? -SD
