 Left-Wing ‘Power’ Digs Into the Right-Wing JuggernautPosted on Jun 13, 2011
“Background Briefing” and “Daily Briefing” with Ian Masters air Sunday through Thursday in Los Angeles on 90.7 KPFK, home of Truthdig Radio. In interviewing Joel Rogers—whom Glenn Beck and Andrew Breitbart consider the power behind the scenes of a vast left-wing conspiracy—radio host Ian Masters asks about the real power in the country: the right-wing juggernaut that is sweeping the land.

Face it: conservatives are just naturally meaner than liberals - and more willing to go to battle over what they want.
I’ve been told that benobos are more docile than chimpanzees. That’s probably why there are more chimps.

I don’t think you can carve this up as a conservative vs. liberal. I tend to believe there are money conscience liberals out there just as there are socially conscience conservatives. We are not that far apart.
The political class absent in this interview is the so called ‘elite’. Neither conservative or liberal but very rich. Not all rich people fall into this category but those that do wield the power of money like a weapon. They run the news, choose the politicians and frame the debate.
Both Joel and Ian fall for the straw-man. Willing to view their neighbor as an enemy instead of the true culprits. In this regard, we see how powerful the elites are.

So, Breitbart claims an obscure college professor to be the power behind this vast left wing conspiracy sweeping our nation. Funny that most with progressive or even leftist ideals have never even heard of the guy, funnier still that there could even be such a thing as a vast left wing conspiracy in today’s political climate.
Breitbart is, and always has been , an ass.

Rogers interview
the interviewer demonstrates his total lack of understanding of MYTH, e.g.
“inability to frame things” “truth is a moving target” “mythical liberal power base”
as a “canard”
and then—like 99% of all other self-proclaimed “progressives”—wonders why
Report thisthe right wing so easily suckers the public
