Pacifica — holy crap! Mr. Sid — “Pacifica” is like “Frau Blucher” — just hearing/seeing the word causes a visceral reaction. Come to think of it Amy Goodman looks a bit like Frau Blucher (cue horses).

Great idea putting a photo of Rather up there, BTW. He is the avatar of media bias. His response after being caught making up stories was (paraphrased) “It’s not true…but it should be.” That seems to be the motto of the media. They should carve it in granite above the doorway of the NYT.

Usually when someone is talking about right wing media, its because they are leftists. In my humble experience with the denizens of Pacifica, et al, they view America politics as either right wing, or loony right wing (Lib and conservative). They are upset that, for some reason, American’s doesn’t care what Castro, or Jaques Chirac, think about issues.
Another reason for them to be happy with the Rise of the Community Organizer. “They” have finally cracked the rock open. Only instead of honey they’ll find an ooze of stinky slime.
