Here’s an explanation we don’t hear often enough on how conservative media plays their game. Media consultant Joel Silberman…
To begin with, talk shows[..] are popular and powerful because they appeal to a segment of the population that feels disenfranchised and even victimized by the media. These people believe the media are predominantly staffed by and consistently reflect the views of social liberals. This view is by now so long-held and deep-rooted, it has evolved into part of virtually every conservative’s DNA.
To succeed, a talk show host must perpetuate the notion that his or her listeners are victims, and the host is the vehicle by which they can become empowered. The host frames virtually every issue in us-versus-them terms. There has to be a bad guy against whom the host will emphatically defend those loyal listeners.
This enemy can be a politician – either a Democratic officeholder or, in rare cases where no Democrat is convenient to blame, it can be a “RINO” (a “Republican In Name Only,” who is deemed not conservative enough). It can be the cold, cruel government bureaucracy. More often than not, however, the enemy is the “mainstream media” – local or national, print or broadcast.
Silberman expounds on “The Big Lie” (liberal media bias). Good stuff. .

At least the guy is honest about being a socialist. His premise that the Big Lie is “government is bad”, is based on his belief that more government is good. Intuitively, most Americans know better.
Tommy, part of the Big Lie is that it convinces people like you that people who don’t think government is bad want more government and the more the better. That is a Big Lie. And you know it.
The Repugs are against “Big Government”So when they get elected they do their best to prove their point and do their best to make the government incompetent.Can you imagine hiring someone that tells you he thinks your business in bad and than expect them to do their best for your co.?
That’s really the big lie Mort. Repubs want big government as much as dems. It IS their business. The only ones who don’t want big government are the libertarians. Or yeah, and anybody who doesn’t get (or want) a handout from the government.

@Tommy: Didn’t I see your name somewhere in Facebook? If it was you, I’ll have to haunt you there & say hello. ;-)
the conservative narrative is scary just like this clown is scary

“Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one.” Thomas Paine
Government is like good interior design; less is more.
“The single most exciting thing you encounter in government is competence, because it’s so rare.”
Daniel P. Moynihan
At least we have a competence in the White House now, as opposed to the prior incompetence
