You've just stated that both viewpoints are equally credible, and then went ahead and said the official story is less credible. Where the hell are you?


Exactly - either viewpoint is, on its own merits, equally valid; it's just that we happen to have a government which reflexively lies to us.

Yeah, that's exactly how the media addresses viewpoints against Bush... except for tax policy, abortion, energy, global warming, Iraq, Iran, Israel, Palestine, Joe Wilson/Valerie Plame, Gonzales Firing attorney's, Bush v. Gore, Keith Olbermann... am I done? ... oh wait... Supreme Court nominees, Terri Schaivo, abstinence only education, embryonic stem cell research, Darfur, John Bolton, the UN corruption in general, government spending...


Errr, yeah, pretty much. The sitting administration is pretty far-out and wacky on a lot of things (not least some of the stuff you mentioned); the mainstream media pretty much gives them free passes on most of it. If it comes out as slightly critical of some things, that's generally because the official position in question is simply off the fucking map. The liberal media is a laughable fallacy; it only exists on conservative talk radio.

Edit: Now, the entertainment industry - which, admittedly, the news media resembles more and more every day - is unabashedly Democratic (if not strictly liberal). They're full of shit in their own way, but it's a bit of a stretch to paint the media with the same brush.
