This reads like a Penthouse letter. |
I've never heard the term, don't understand the implication. |
Penthouse is a porno mag popular in North America. It has a section where readers can send in their personal experiences and Penthouse publishes the most entertaining letters. As much as I like to write, I should send them a letter with a few of my own experiences over the years. |

But if he were a Leftist, then you'd have no qualms about it. |

In other words, because he and others like him are rightwing and conservative, you yourself have no qualms about the very acute concentration of media ownership that has come about in the last few decades. |

No, Big Bird, wrong again.
I don't like the centralization of the media but I do know that the moment Leftists get in the driver's seat you stop caring about the other passengers that are along for the ride. |

I wish we had more right winged nuts to levy against all the left winged nuts. What is it at now 100 left to 1 right?
It's amazing that Rupert hasn't lost his mind by now, with all the lies, slander and hate thrown at him. |

Yeah yeah, I'm a lefty so I just want to live in a world where my ideas can never be challenged. 
That's new. |

Well, with nuts like you rallying behind him, he can't go wrong, can he? |

Let's not get narcissistic; I was referring to Leftists in general. Then again, come to think of it, you recently cited your regular reads and viewing on this forum, none of which leans right of center. |

That's because you are so far along to the right, most everything seems left of centre.
I have one of Murdoch's rags delivered to my door every day. If you don't consider that right of centre, then I'm afraid you're well beyond help. |

I certainly hope not because that would mean that you and I have something significant in common.
