Conservatism is just the skin, just like so called liberalism of the left. It's all just corporatism. All hail the mighty monopoly, for it's convinced me that my life should be in debt, that I should tune in and I should spend. The news coverage is actually a tiny symptom when you look at the big picture. It's just one of the many medias that has been enveloped into the "keep the stupid poor people fighting about meaningless nonsense so that the rich can get richer" scheme. And look how well it's worked. We were barely even discussing the public option when the "Now you must argue about Obama's school speech" order came down from our well financed corporate media and we fell in line. And the American Gordon Gekkos pulling the strings get all the more richer.
It's not right vs. left. I wonder if it's EVER been right vs. left. It's arguing as a sport between nearly distinguishable teams. It's not even stupid vs. smart. It's stupid vs. stupid with a little crazy mixed in.
