Ive listened to Keith Oberman. Now here is an enlightened individual. all I hear when his lips start slapping is blah blah blah. When that dude was born, they injected his head with the detridus of a dead dodo bird and called it brains! talk about an idiot.
At least when Rush says something over the top you know he is trying to be funny. Oberman actully thinks he is making a contribution.
Have I heard non-conservitive media? of course. and it reinforces my belief that these people are paternalistic socialists that really believe they can direct my life better than me.
It also reinforces my beleif that the people that fall for their insanity do so because they really think the governemnt owes them and they have abdicated all responsiblility for themselves!

Beware when men flatter you. Especially right wing media. All the deception cloaked in flag waving. "You're a great 'merican!" Yeah....uh huh.
I think insecure people don't like NPR because the individuals truly are intelligent and trying to share information you most likely don't know...if you only listen to television news or talk radio. Give me something intelligent. On talk radio I hear politicians talk about Iraq, and soliders talk about Iraq, military leaders talk about Iraq. Here's the problem...most of their careers depend upon saying, "Everything's fine and dandy." Oh, but NPR has reporters ON THE GROUND, reporting from inside Iraq, interviewing contractors, civilians, and Iraqi officials. You get to walk with them through people's homes and talk about this over their kitchen tables. Rush and Sean get paid propagandists and politicians who are rarely in tune with the "on the ground" reality. I was a medic in the US Army. I know that the last thing you can trust is a soldier who's in "the mode" and under orders. Then they pontificate on news stories from those on the ground suposedly revealing inconsistancies from their cushy chairs from their ivory palaces. Ah...the only thing Rush has had aimed at him is his golden microphone. I say Rush and Sean should get a group of families from a radomly selected Iraqi neighborhood and hold an open discussion where the Iraqis can tell how life really is in their country and what they really think about American presence.
Rush and Sean are PHONIES. I call them..."The Filters" because most conservatives I know gets all their information filtered through them.
The Filters, false prophets of talk radio.
