How about Katie Couric asking Sarah Palin what newspapers and magazines she reads? Or the mainstream media reporting on mass shootings without pointing out that every citizen has the constitutional right to keep and bear arms of his or her choosing?

That's just a couple of the attacks that immediately come to mind.

Do you really think it's unreasonable of us to debate gun control after a mass shooting? I'm confused as to why people even politicize this issue (and hundreds of other issues). Yes, our outrageously socialist president wanted more background checks. But guess what? It didn't pass. The process worked for the gun lovers out there.

And what constitutes MSM at this point? Glen Beck and rush Limbaugh are two of the highest paid entertainers in the world. Radio is dominated by conservatives. Conservatives have their own news station. Almost every political news show out there has democraric and republican strategists. I just fail to see how the republican voice is suppressed or how republicans are under attack.

Watch 30 mins of MSNBC and you will see. Not sure how that news channel is still on the air considering their dismal ratings and lack of viewership.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/...ch-bros-claim/

http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013...-the-headline/

That took about 30 seconds of research...perfect examples of the Lefts incessant attacks on the Right.

So, commentary on a tv channel nobody watches counts as relentless attacks?

That's pretty sad.

So by that logic, the Left is under constant attack by the Right. Turn on Fox News for 5 minutes and you'll see.

So it evens out. Then let's stop using it as a crutch in our conversations about politics.

Sure it does. Pathetic they have to reach that low to attract an audience. Perfect example is Piers Morgan.

Sure they attack back but not to the extreme that you see from the Left.
