My wife sent me
an article from Salon that I shall analyze shortly, but what caught my attention first were the comments.
The left apparently believes that some bizarre "right wing media" drives public opinion. Now, I am the first to admit when the right is delusional about things, if you doubt that, check out my posts about he rumors that Obama is a Moslem. I do not allow the right or left delusional beliefs, but in this case the left is delusional. They claim Fox news, and the "Murdoch empire" controls public opinion and that is why Howard Dean was driven from the race. (Of course the author claims it was "the Israel Lobby", which is just as mad.)
Dean was driven from the race as he made himself look like a TOTAL LOON! No crypto-zionists, no right wing media. The infamous Dean scream did it all.
As I said earlier, most people are to blame for their own troubles, and Dean is no exception. No one did in Howard Dean but Howard Dean.
Bunch of whiners.
ADDENDUM
Allow me to correct this last statement. Perhaps the "right wing media" did kill Dean's campaign in one way. It is possible that had Fox not existed, the left would have tried to spin his insane scream or bury the footage, and thus saved Dean. But, then again, enough on the left had written him off as an unhinged loon after that meeting that even without Murdoch, I am pretty sure the MSM would have buried him just as quickly as Fox did.
