I have, often, been queried about the mainstream media's love affair with liberals and their causes, particularly their support for a Barack Obama (Barry Sotero) presidency. Since the liberals have not had a good track record on their support of the First Amendment (Freedom Of Speech) in their support of the so-called "Fairness Doctrine" which seeks to target conservative talk radio, the mainstream media's support for liberals and their issues would seem to be a case of "Assisted Suicide".
In an era where tabloid journalism and soap opera drama is king, perhaps the mainstream media's symbiotic and suicidal relationship with liberalism has to do with the prodigious scandals of the liberal Democrats which provide the media a continuing source of tidbits upon which to feed. The press is already growing fat on the scandals of their secular Messiah, President elect Obama (Sotero), and he has yet to be seated. Then there is the matter of Mr. Obama's (Sotero's) associates such as Reverand Wright (the "Hate USA" firebrand), Bill Ayers (Weather Underground) and now, the recent questions revolving around his relationship with Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich and the corruption scandal there.
While it can be argued that there has been scandals among the ranks of the GOP, these remain anecdotal pockets which do not sustain the mainstream media's voracious appetite for a constant stream of dirt. On the other hand, all the media has had to sustain them over the last eight years is the worn out mantra of "no more war", while the congressional Democrats have continued with their policies of "Congressional Blood For Oil" with their opposition to domestic energy development and immigration policies designed to flood the United States labor markets with illegal labor.
What the press looks for is a steady stream of salacious personal scandals, the likes of which have not been seen since Bill Clinton's Monicagate, Filegate, Sandy Bergergate (AKA pantsgate) and Whitewater. Judging from what has transpired thus far, it looks like the next four years will be a banner period for the mainstream (tabloid) media with lots of feasting and NO famine.
