The Death of Direct Sales

I know I said I wasn't going to post again, but I want to tie some loose ends up here...I believe the NYT's leans left...I do not believe the MSM as a whole leans left. For every example you name of a media outlet leaning left I can counter with one leaning right. It is pretty balanced overall. Where I live there is no such thing as a left leaning media. There is no liberal talk radio..not a single station...there are no liberal newspapers. My local paper endorses Republicans only in elections. However I know liberal outlets exist...I may not if the internet had never come about, but the myth of a liberal media is pervasive, but it is one of those lies that if you say it enough then it has to be true. Has Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity ever done a single show without blaming something on the "Liberal media"? A lot of people in this country will buy anything hook, line and sinker...how do you explain a woman getting up at a townhall meeting and telling McCain she won't vote for Obama because he's an arab????

And with that goodbye to this thread...way too many good college football games on TV today.

If you're a betting man (unlike me) take the over on the Nebraska v Texas Tech game today. Tech may try to lay 100 on us.

edited to add a response to James' question: I do not think Obama is more fiscally conservative than McCain, however the people McCain has surrounded himself with are far from fiscal conservatives...they are the same Rovian trash that surrounds GWB who is perhaps the biggest socialist this country has seen since FDR...actually no perhaps about it.
