I think that these political cartoons showed what the media is really like. Also, these cartoons show that there is only one side of the story shown on the news and to always look at the other possibilities that could be there.
In referring to the “Liberal Media” I’m curious to know some of your thoughts and reasons behind that belief. I hear a lot of people in our Country talk about the so-called Liberal Media. However, I do not believe the media is any more liberal than it is very right-wing conservative on issues. The word “liberal” has become such a negative term. When in fact, “liberalism is a broad class of political philosophies that considers individual liberty and equality to be the most important goals.” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberalism) The conservative movement has done a fabulous job at turning a very positive term into one of the most negative words in our vocabulary. Thanks for the post, it’s always interesting to see others points of view. Michael
