I know you said you’re no longer hard left, but you sure sound hard right when you go on about the mainstream media like this.
Why should it be seen as hard right to go after the media for misrepresentation?
I’m very familiar with the accusation that standing up for a conservative viewpoint (even just to object to its mischaracterization) renders one hard right. It just doesn’t make any sense.
“The mainstream media” as a pejorative is the domain of the right. How far right that is today versus the Palin days is a bit different I suppose.
