It's interesting though, even though it's far from scientific. It's been demonstrated before that liberals and conservatives consume media in very different ways. Liberals tend to want all the information, while conservatives tend to only watch or listen to things they already agree with. I can't remember where I read that, but there was a big study done that showed that. That's why Fox News is so popular with conservatives and everything that's not Fox News is accused of being the "liberal media".

Tuber was right, the reason it was such a shock to liberals in 2004 was because they only listened to like-minded people. The whole "a monkey could defeat Bush" mentality was only possible by self-blinding to the realities of politics and dissenting viewpoints.

Perhaps so, but it wasn't my generalization. It was the result of a study. I'll go see if I can hunt down a source.

I
seriously doubt this was an actual study that conservatives only want to listen to conservative news while liberals want to hear everything. I bet it was from the same people who brought you the "study" that everyone who voted for Bush was uneducated and lived in a trailer.
