As far as memes go, “liberals control the media” seems pretty prevalent. People who long for the days of school spankings shriek it at the top of their lungs – actual liberals believe it if only so they can believe they control something. But as we slowly descend back to Earth we realize The Media is a business.
And the point has been made that you could look long and hard through the board of directors of any of the media giant(s) before you find an honest-to-God Liberal. Liberals are tolerated in the media to the extent that they can make their bosses money.
All these points became clear to me in light of a new propaganda film (made by Citizens Against Government Waste) making the rounds where we see a group of Chinese circa 2030 cackling over America’s demise. Maybe you’ve seen it too – where some communists attribute America’s immanent doom to our use of socialism. Yeah, makes perfect sense. But it begs the question …
Where’s the “LIBERAL” version of that commercial? The one where a group of wealthy industrialists sit in smoke filled rooms, counting their money, laughing at the people who believe killing brown people is their patriotic duty and the guy who wants universal health care is the Antichrist …
No, you don’t see that commercial, do you? Well maybe we should make it. And we’ll call it: The American Party.
