As they went to commercial, I flipped it one channel up to Fox News. There was a newscaster interviewing [Don McLeroy](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_McLeroy), the a member of the Texas State board of Education. He’s a young Earth creationist and, in debates on the use of evolution in Texas biology books, has said “someone needs to stand up to all these experts!”. > > By the way - if your state school board is half-full of young earth creationists, shouldn’t your state be committing mass suicide in embarassment and shame? I mean.. for fucks sake, these people are at the highest level of educational control. What the fuck? As I have said before: I love my state. But why the fuck did all the religious whackos have to move down here? They could have been just as stupid over in Alabama or Mississippi. ---

Tough shit for you. What we don’t like is that the mainstream media is a shill for the left wing. Tough shit for all of us. ---

It’s already true and has been for decades, going back at least to the forties and probably even before then. Business draws conservative types and journalism (and the entertainment industry) draw liberal types, and so their bias comes out even when (in journalism anyway) they try to keep it under wraps. The MSM almost always portrays liberal thoughts and ideas and pracitices in an approving light while casting a skeptical and borderline hostile eye toward most things conservative. And that is what’s true. ---
