I've Got Your "Liberal Media" Right Here, Pal

By Dan Hagen
The progressive Howard Dean once made a funny noise in the middle of a screaming rally, and was instantly and universally declared unfit for office by the corporate media that looped it, amplified it and replayed it incessantly.
The scream scene was shown some 633 TIMES by cable and broadcast news networks in the four days following the incident, and that doesn't include talk shows and local news broadcasts. But those who were in the actual audience insisted that they were unaware of the "scream."
Yet people like the right-wing extremist quitter Sarah Palin and her loony counterpart Michele Bachmann can make inane, fact-free, ludicrous remarks, and be sagely discussed as serious presidential contenders.
Their batshit-crazy pronouncements are made to vanish down the memory hole as soon as they’re babbled.
