Actually, I believe that the mainstream media reflect people's tastes. They sell whatever people want to consume. Liberal-slanted media gripe and bitch about the mainstream media's conservative corporate bias. Conservative media whine and moan about the media's liberal bias. Both subjective sources agree about one thing, though: the mainstream media focus obsessively on entertainment ... to the detriment of society... or whatever...
Obviously such self-righteous people avoid such things, right? Well, according to Huffington Post during December 20, 2007 an article about Jamie Lynn Spears' pregnancy received the most views during the course of a few days with more than 114,000 views. An article about Mike Huckabee ranked second with 54,000 views. In fact, as I typed this entry I noticed that an article that is titled "Britney Naked, Pill-Popping And Swearing: Details Of The Stand-Off" on Huff Post has received almost 46,000 views.
Now we have this recent phenomenon: http://sweetjesusihatechrismatthews.blogspot.com/2008/01/dear-chris-matthews.html
Apparently liberals are so sophisticated and learned about the issues and their candidates that they will vote for a candidate to spite a news commentator. Brilliant. Many Air America radio hosts have concurred that they wish they could vote for Hillary Clinton to spite Matthews and other sexist commentators, as well. Note: these are the same people who rant and rave about the mainstream media's superficialities.
It's all nonsense, folks. I'm just here to expose it.
