Up Is Down, Hot Is Cold, Slavery Is Freedom, And Other Lies The Media Tells

Jamison Foser, writing for Media Matters has up another of his well-reasoned, carefully-documented posts about the false stories that the media tells about progressives and liberals. The whole thing is very good and worth a read, but the following made me yell, "Yes!", thereby scaring Miss Thing.

Why, then, would the Post portray a move by Democrats "to the left" as having dire consequences? Putting aside the Lieberman/Lamont race, polling seems to suggest that Democrats in general might face far more disastrous consequences if they were to move to the right. Indeed, we should be seeing media speculation about whether Republicans will move towards the center or whether they will maintain their out-of-the-mainstream positions, "consequences be damned." Whether Republicans will move towards the center -- and, thus, against the Iraq war -- or maintain their extremist positions.
