Annointed liberal media figures disappoint

Those who control the media are so overwhelmingly right wing, that the caste of characters we see every day in the world of pundits is heavily skewed.   We have a huge collection of mad extremists like Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly and Michael Savage.  We have people like Scarborough who are just as rabid but more polished in making false shows of occasional moderation.  Then we have the ones the wingnuts call the liberal media -- people like the network anchors, Katie Couric, Dan Rather, Matt Lauer -- people who seem culturally in tune or at least not in opposition to northeast USA bluestateness, but who always reinforce the underlying themes of those in power.  For example, President Bush's poll numbers may be slipping, but still unquestioned is the idea that we are waging a legitimate, desirable war in Iraq.
