reed tryte>...US media is more tightly controlled than Italy's, so that there are no shows that the American right really has to worry about...

The American Right that called CNN, the, "Communist News Network, " and recently the, "Clinton News Network, " that buys in droves screeds like that Bernard Goldberg book, "Bias, " on that Bolshevik, Dan Rather? That thirty yrs. ago ate up, Spiro Agnew's attacks on the, "Nattering Nabobs of Negativism, " chattering on the, "Left-lEAning Antenna, " (a book by Edith Efron, published by Regnery back then).

Where, I live in S.F. the biggest independent bookstore, Stacy's that does about $10= million in sales a yr. (I interviewed for a job a while back there and asked) currently features the latest from Michael Parenti, Noam Chomsky and Gore Vidal. Guess what sells (at least from my perception of how many copies have been on the shelves and have stayed there gathering dust) more copies? The attack on CBS as a PC Left-Liberal Elitists and the latest ghostwritten from William Bennett. http://www.aim.org/
