LMIA


Looky here. It's the dreaded "liberal media" in action. The graph shows the number of times a member of congress has appeared on a cable news program to discuss the proposed economic stimulus plan (sorted by party affiliation). At some point, folks will begin to understand that these media outlets are owned by big corporations. This being the case, coverage skews conservative--as would befit the wealthy owners of each media outlet's parent corporation. No need to make the big boss angry, now is there? Gosh, we'd say that maybe General Electric (owners of NBC, MSNBC, etc.) doesn't seem to want the stimulus plan to become reality. Perhaps GE prefers to continue their stimulus programs in Iraq and Afghanistan?
