The reason you think that about the large number of us on the left in the US is that the American media ignores us entirely. Our opinions don't count.
Depends on the medium. Media which are primarily funded by advertising tend toward the right. Media which are primarily funded by direct payment (eg, cinema) tend toward the left. That's why movies like Fahrenheit 9/11 and its kindred are huge hits, but at the same time you almost never see similar viewpoints on talk radio or cable news. It's just each viewpoint finding its natural medium.

True. Our local newspaper, which was, for many years fairly unbiased, has just been taken over by a new Managing Editor. Now its thrust is somewhere just to the left of, say, H. Clinton, and shares her phobia of a vast Right Wing conspiracy. I may have to invest in a bird cage to justify the expenditure of retaining my subscription.
Flame away,

Para m�, la m�sica es la respiraci�n de la vida y del dios. Per me, la musica � l'alito di vita e del dio. Pour moi, la musique est le souffle de la vie et de Dieu. F�r mich ist Musik der Atem des Lebens und des Gottes.
