I can't seem to get into debates and into politics when all i see on fucking TV is liberal shit and capitalist vs capitalist going at it. It just pisses me off that they neglect the real problems at hand. and that they are so fucking dumb and go round and around in circles beating the same dead horse when all they have to do is look at their lovely system. I find this very frustrating... thats why I can't even watch funny "liberal" TV shows. let along the fucking news.
I feel your pain. Ive just been watching on BBC the conservative party conference and how they're blaming our 'socialist labour government' for the country's social poverty problems when in fact it was the capitalist policies they spearheaded back in the 80's that caused all this shit. [/b]
Their willingness to call villify Labour, to call Labour socialist, to market themselves as being different from Labour is a shell game intended to ensure that the primary political "axis"in the UKwill be a little dot with an arrow marked "neo-liberal" pointing right to it.
As for the mainstream media lying, a few months ago I saw an article about Hugo Chavez in Maclean's that painted Chavez as a hated authoritarian tyrant and had more lies than it did paragraphs.
Talk radio in America can be divided into two groups:
1. ultra-liberal: Mike Malloy
2. neo-liberal: Everyone else
