Re: Herald's Dean Johnson on new 1150 talker



I think it really depends on what you are reading or listening to.
I watch a lot of news channels and listen to a lot of talk shows and I hear
a lot of, leftist this, liberal that.
Recently, Ed Asner was on Hannity & Colmes and Hannity was badgering him for
about 15 minutes. 'Are you a communist?' ... Making fun of him for
supporting Dennis Kucinich ... criticizing him for protesting the war ...
'liberal, liberal, naahh, nahh.' God, that is the best he can do for a
legitimate debate?
If you read the Manchester Union Leader or the Boston Herald, you  read the
opposite of what you read in the Boston Globe or the Concord Monitor.
