Blue In a Landslide?

In today's New York Times Frank Rich argues that it was "Blue" values that won in the election. Or at the very least will be aptly protected by the "conservative" right of the Bush Addministration. He aptly points to probably one of the most boorish and disgusting purveyors of low brow culture, the News Corporation and Bush backer Ruppert Murdoch. While he notes that Fox News Channel is extremely conservative the remainder of the media empire is as crude and vulgar as any.

He continues by noting that many of the media executives were all supporting Bush during the election. Interestingly enough the "liberal" media is controlled by Republicans. And, with his friends running those corporations Bush is not likely to push and real conservative agenda.

All I can say is I hope Mr. Rich is correct.
