For those watching America from around the world...the current state of American media as offered by Pat Caddell...

Here is who Pat Caddell is...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pat_Caddell

He has worked for Democratic presidential candidates George McGovern in 1972, Jimmy Carter in 1976 and 1980, Gary Hart in 1984, Joe Biden in 1988, and Jerry Brown in 1992. He also worked for Colorado Senate candidate Andrew Romanoff in 2010.[SUP][1][/SUP]
He has served as a consultant to various movies and television shows, most notably the movies Running Mates, Air Force One, Outbreak, In the Line of Fire, and the serial drama The West Wing. He was also a marketing consultant on Coca-Cola's disastrous New Coke campaign.[SUP][2][/SUP]
In 1988, Caddell left the Democratic Party after an acrimonious lawsuit with a Democratic consulting firm, Caddell, Doak and Shrum. Republicans would often cite Caddell's tirades against the Democratic Party when they spoke on the floor of the House and the Senate.[SUP][3][/SUP][SUP][4][/SUP][SUP][5][/SUP]
According to researchers, Caddell had wide influence in the Carter White House, and was the chief advocate of what later became known as Carter's "malaise speech".[SUP][6][/SUP]

Soooo...hardly a right winger. Here is what he thinks about the current Main stream media in America...

Glad to see you continue to attack the messengers and not the message...

You know, when I first started in politics – and for a long time before that – everyone on both sides, Democrats and Republicans, despised the press commonly, because they were SOBs to everybody. Which is exactly what they should be. They were unrelenting. Whatever the biases were, they were essentially equal-opportunity people.

Oh don. Stop taking this stuff so seriously. You don't see the irony of a mainstream media outlet that is blatantly right wing alleging that mainstream media is left wing? And pointing this out isn't attacking the messenger.

Shhh Steve. Pointing out Brietbart's site, Fox News (as Bill C pointed out is the most watch news channel) , and other right wing media outlets are mainstream ruines the meme of the poor victims of left wing media that are the conservatives. Yes, this was sarcasm.
