                  Compared to other sources? They still actually have reporter abroad and in other places.

                      Fortunately for them, there is almost no liberal news. Air America is about it. The problem, Lancer, is that your reactionary politics are so far to the right that normal conservatism seems liberal to you.

                        The truth is somewhere in the middle.

                        You equate Liberal to far left, Lancer equates it to center-right.

                        There's more Liberal news than Air America. Your standards are just odd.

                          THAT is what interests me Che. Blindness interests me when its on a mass scale. You say that I cannot see because of whatever, and I say that those who miss what I find obvious are blind.

                          It's interesting, no? Like its meant to be. People obeying their lights, whatever those are. The blindness itself is evidence that there is a plan. I wonder what it is.

                            I equate liberal to social democratic politics, basically your New Democratic Party or the left-liberal parties in Europe. They want a capitalism with a more human face, but don't want to challenge the system.

                            Consider that if Nixon ran on his policies today, he'd be considered to the left of Obama. That's how far right our politics has become. Old conservatism is the new liberalism. Reactionaries are the new conservatives. They don't want to slow change down, they want change in the other direction.

                              But they're not liberal, they're socialist.

                              We have a "Liberal" party which you do not think is liberal...

                              Conservatives = Conservative* (note that "Conservative" in Canada probably is closer to the Democrats than Republicans)
                              Liberal = Liberal
                              New Democratic Party = Socialist

                              BTW: Mad props to you for being the only American who knows what the NDP is.
