About Me
- Name: Snave
- Location: La Grande, Oregon, United States
I am a native eastern Oregonian, and have lived here 50 of my 62 years. I left at 20, but was back by age 32 to be near my parents to help them in times of need. I don't fit in politically here because I view things from a decidedly left wing perspective... but that's o.k. because I love the people, I love the area and for the most part I like living here. I enjoy family time, listening to music, reading books, traveling, bird watching, hiking, backpacking, watching movies, keeping up on politics, watching sports, sitting at the computer so much I get sores on my ass, and playing music... if you need a band for your party or celebration, let me know; I play keyboards and sing for a rock and roll band, and we do mostly "classic rock". (I also like to play guitar and bass and other instruments, but those are for my private enjoyment only!) I am mainly an agnostic/skeptic, but would consider myself spiritual. I work in schools and in clinical settings as a speech/language therapist. It is enjoyable work and it pays some of the bills. I have a rather unpredictable sense of humor, which can get me in trouble at times, but hey, is life worth living without laughter? I think not!

Snave- great post! With all these stalwart liberal crusaders in the media no wonder America is the most progressive country in the world!
First, Danica, I find people who behave as though they were chatroom pornbots to be pretty much anti-Viagara. So if you want people to view your OUTWAR site, I hope you are sorely mistaken.
Second, as much as I sometimes hate to admit it, these people would not exist without a market to support them. I think Limbaugh and O'Reilly are usually in the first case and occasionally in the second, intellectually dishonest individuals, and I can't stomach listening to either of them. I agree wholeheartedly with Chris Rock's dictum that political parties are little more than gangs. However, if you checked out my link to an overview of Governor Bob Riley's failed tax plan, you would clearly see that not all that's wrong with America is in the Republican Party. Frankly, the leaders and the bulk of the upper-level membership of both parties disgust me. That being said, I save my greatest loathing for Senators Kennedy, Byrd, and Santorum, and view Byrd and Santorum as morally equivalent. That being said, there is no denying that some of the major newspapers (the Washington Post, the LA Times, and the NY Times among them) have a strong left slant, as evidenced by their editorials and their occasionally inexcusable behavior.
It is commonly pointed out that the Washington Post, LA Times, and NY Times have a leftist slant. That's rather a statement of the obvious. On the other hand, I would doubt the Wall Street Journal has a left-leaning slant, and I would guess it is at least as popular a paper as the first three. I'm fairly sure Richard Mellon Scaife's Pittsburgh newspaper is slanted to the right. For all the arguments local folks around here make about the Portland Oregonian being a leftist paper, the editorials contain a nice balance. (The letters to the editor tend toward the left, but not the editorials.) Our little local paper even runs a Molly Ivins column about 3-4 times a month, and this is red state country, east of the Oregon Cascades.
I have to believe that there is really no "liberal media", that the media is basically controlled by corporate interests (aren't most busninesses?), and that the controlling corporate types will find the GOP easier to deal with... thus, giving us a "corporate media" that may actually lean more to the right overall than it does to the left.
