Yeah, Jagi, I hear what you're saying, but I just don't buy it. The media stories that are "heartwarming" often involve traditional (and I think superficial) expressions of patriotism or "old-fashioned family values" that bear little resemblance to what many people experience in today's world. They are deeply conservative in the things they value and not necessarily "liberal" at all. But they sell. Modern conservatives, in my opinion, scream about the "liberal press" because their ideas are bankrupt. Complaining about the press is all they've got. I happened to listen in to today's White House press briefing, and you should have heard the "liberal press" hammering away at Obama's Press Sec. (whose name I've forgotten) about little piddling stuff. They're playing gotchya, just like the right complains about, but they're doing it to the Democrat now. The difference is, if they play gotchya with Obama he'll run circles around them, because he's way, WAY smarter than any of them. When they play gotchya with Dubya or Palin, or even McCain, they're on equal footing, and so they're more effective.
