What is the locus of today's progressive idea machine? Is it in the Senate? Is it some room that contains the Obama transition team? Is it unformed?
I've seen T. Boone Pickens, stalwart Texas businessman and philanthropist, get almost endless free press, without anyone to offer an alternative view. Has any progressive "think tank" reviewed his "plan"?
Anyway, it came to the fore because of today's oddball juxtaposition on Meet The Press of Boone talking down about "a plan" for GM as unbounded, while boosting "a plan" for ... well, it didn't sound like he was talking about "free markets" and, if he were a 'pinhead liberal', so named by the indecent Right, he'd have had to answer at least three or four questions about "big government" and "taxes", right?
It's amazing how much Conservative bias there is in the press, especially the financial press, right?
