Well, Pat, I bow to your superior knowledge of media titans, but in my own personal experience, media execs are nobody's idea of liberals. Unless corpocrats are now considered liberal.
You are probably dead on there David. But are we talking music label executives or journalists? The reason why the media is overwhelmingly left wing (about 85%) is that journalists tend to be. This is not opinion it is based upon surveys that show the voting records of journalists both in print and TV. I'm not saying things are going glorious in Iraq but I don't think we are getting balanced coverage either. I was listening to an interview today from a journalist talking to a field soldier in Iraq and it was easy to see what his slant on the interview was going to be. He tried to coax out of the soldier how bad it was and the soldier said "sure we would think it was bad if we read your press accounts, but I'm here and I see first hand the progress we are making". That positive progress is never reported on and probably never will be. If we pulled out in mass at this point we both know what would happen immediately and that would be civil war on a scale that would make what we are reporting as civil war there now look like a day in the park. Which would tickle the heck out of the head in the sand pacifists because then they would be able to say "See I told you so". Pretty much the support they would give in Rwanda is the support they think we should give the Iraq's
