    Conan O'Brien seems to be implying that the media is more of a medium (singular).

    There are 3. Murdoch, Turner, and I forget the other. All "news" media in the US are controlled by those three conglomerates.

    Wow. Just wow. I need a +1 Ironic for this post.

    Case in point, my friend. Case in point.

    The problems aren't left or right, red or blue, jackass or pachyderm. Those are the false dichotomies used to distract and manipulate. Yet even among the informed... People are more than willing to play the part they're told to.
