[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 854710, member: 2189"] Matthews is old media or old school and I could just never see him hocking trinkets on the net to begin with but then some old school media conservatives would never do it either. Matthews and Maddow to my knowledge only have the TV show and therefore it's more issues oriented verses talk radio where it's about the monkey behind the microphone. Now you may not like the issues, how it's presented (and I may agree too) but what they do is a far cry from what talk radio is IMO. I have watched Maddow before because one night she interviewed Jeff Sharlet about the infamous organization, "The Family" and it's leader Douglas Coe. For me, this was must see TV. However, I've been completely disgusted with Maddow (never had any illusions about Matthews) and how she rightly tore Bush and friends a new one on the issue of war and now she sits quietly only uttering the occasional peep when pressures on the radical left build to a point she has to maintain appearances. But then this is exactly what establishment media is and why more and more are flushing it down the drain. As for the selling of patriotism, I agree with you there. But then I refuse to pledge allegiance to the flag so my idea of patriotism is not a product they're selling to begin with. The great H.L. Mencken never lived to see talk radio and the media we have today but in his day he did say this about the main force of media and that was the mighty newspaper. I'd like to think if Mencken was among us today he would restate that as follows: And he would be correct too! :happy-very: [/QUOTE]
