Still Think It's Not a Right-Wing Media?

Check this out - if you didn't see the words "Washington Times" on there, you'd literally think it was a RNC press release. But it's not - it is a Washington Times "news" story. Remember, this is not just one news story that goes into the ether. The Washington Times knows that their stories get picked up by more mainstream television news shows, and get quoted by other pundits in the mainstream media. It is all a sophisticated way to force the latest - and most dishonest - right-wing spin into the political debate as it if is legitimately objective.

Still think the media isn't a right-wing echo chamber?
