The Washington Fringe

Glenn Greenwald had a post yesterday that discusses how the beliefs of the right-wing and corporate media represents a fringe of the American people.

The gap between (a) the core beliefs of the right-wing movement and their media allies and (b) the vast majority of American citizens is one that is vast and growing, and it now extends to virtually every issue of political significance. In virtually every area, the defining beliefs of the "conservative" movement (which are frequently synonymous with the conventional wisdom of our Beltway media) are now confined to a small fringe of the American citizenry.
