    Why are you advertising a product that is not only non-Free, but is a Mac product with a Microsoft ASP download page?!

    This must be the "liberal media" I keep hearing people bitch so much about.
    FYI,

    When you hear right wing radio types talking about the liberal media, they are explicitly excluding radio, especially AM, because until a certain formely large popular bombastic radio host came around AM radio was, for all intents and purposes, dead.

    The right-wing "owns" so much of talk radio because they resurrected it as a medium from the grave by working out syndication deals. The right-wing loves to talk about the liberal media in print, on TV, on the major broadcast networks, etc.

    The main fuel for this type of "liberal media" argument is that 90% of journalists want a democrat as a president.
