And most oilmen are conservatives.
The old line that the media is controlled by liberals is extremely worn out... and often proven to be untrue.
To be frank, it's a knee jerk reaction by the right... a pre-scripted phrase that someone spits out automatically when they hear news they don't
like.
To be fair, it's as fair as the argument that all bankers are greedy, or that all cops are secretly bullies. In all these cases... the only thing we
see is an unsupported stereotype used for political effect.
