The pompous Ass...
PBS's Bill Moyers, in a taped interview with MSNBC's Chris Matthews aired Friday night, declared that those who watch FNC and listen to Rush Limbaugh "like red meat," but he contended, "by nature, it's very hard for a liberal to throw red meat simply because the issues are more complex than you can reduce down to a soundbite."
The POMPOUS ASS!
Here is the exchange - about red meat - you really have to read the whole report to get the flavor of the imperial-ness, better-than-any-of-you attitude:
Chris Matthews: "Right now, there's a highly successful conservative cable network called Fox. Why isn't there a highly successful liberal network?"
Bill Moyers: "I don't understand it. I think the people who run television think that liberals and progressives don't get worked up about anything. I think that they think that they're too subtle, too complex, too erudite, let's say, to really defame them. And I think they don't want that kind of television anymore. And in once sense also, the people out in the country who listen to Fox News, who listen to Rush Limbaugh, they like red meat. And, you know, by nature, it's very hard for a liberal to throw red meat simply because the issues are more complex than you can reduce down to a soundbite, although I think we have to learn to speak in that new grammar."
Oh REALLY??
Liberals too subtle??
You mean like Al "...he BETRAYED US!!" Gore?
Or...Robert "GOP=Hitler" Byrd??
OR...Hillary "There has never been an administration, I don't believe in our history, more intent upon consolidating and abusing power to further their own agenda" Clinton???
Oh no, Moyers...Liberals don't get worked up about anything...
WTF!!??
Have you noticed that liberals, when facing the really hard question "Why don't we have as many listeners as Fox?" - always...ALWAYS...frame themselves as more learn-ed...we are just too SMART for "them" to understand...
What a bunch of bullshit...
But, let them console themselves with the self-grandioseness...they don't get it...they never did...and they never will...
