"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself."
Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC)
How do you tell a communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin.

Back to the topic at hand, here is a perfect example of the liberal bias in the media. The media that needs fairness
AP Celebrates: Democrats 'Cleared Away The Financial Mess' of GOP
Posted by Tim Graham on February 1, 2007 - 05:51.
Jonah Goldberg at The Corner noticed the Associated Press covered the budget process with more attitude than objectivity with this introduction from reporter Andrew Taylor:
"The House passed a $463.5 billion spending bill Wednesday that covers about one-sixth of the federal budget as Democrats cleared away the financial mess they inherited from Republicans."
Cleared away the financial mess, all in one spending bill? That's not just editorializing, it's bald-faced partisan rhetoric, not fact. Just paragraphs later, Taylor suggests the Democrats are still a lot like Republicans:
"Despite GOP complaints about how the bill came together, it generally is a Republican-leaning measure that keeps to the same overall cap that Bush and congressional Republicans insisted on last year — before Democrats won control of Capitol Hill in the November elections."
"Spending levels for most agencies and programs are the same as in last year's budget."

The point is it is the left who wants to silence the outlets that disagree with them
For many years, the liberal media could shape, present, and slant the news anyway they wanted
Then talk radio and the internet came along and folks got the other side. People have choosen to listen to talk radion and watch Fox News
That is what the left wants to stop
How do you tell a communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin.
