In William Grosso’s recent “National Review Continues to Get It (National Review Continues to Get It)”:http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/wlg/3748 I came across the comment “Technologoy and Left v. Right (Technologoy and Left v. Right)”:http://www.oreillynet.com/cs/user/view/cs_msg/23897.
Now then, I like to consider myself a moderate, but at the end of the day I’m 1) from the Midwest, grew up in the Midwest, still living in the Midwest and 2) a Christian with conservative theology (on a side note, I came across the phrase “radical orthodoxy” the other day). On the political spectrum of the nation, I’m definitely leaning towards the conservative side of moderation.
So here’s my question for those more liberal than I (which may be a rhetorical question, because I doubt very many of them read my blog, but oh well)–would you agree with the assessment that “Liberals only have politics to give meaning to their lives?” What about the assertion that “liberalism is now the establishment?”
Seems to me that both sides claim the other controls the media. I know most of my family members would swear up and down that mainstream media favors liberal positions. My blogging connections connect me with a fair number of vocal liberals; I’ve seen complaints about conservatives controlling the media.
So who’s really in control?
Devil’s advocate: maybe the journalists out there are doing their jobs (well, except for Fox News) and maintaining a neutrality that makes them a target for both sides.
