All over the right wing universe, rage is the order of the day. I know, you're asking, "What do you mean, Charles? Aren't they always raging?" Well, yes, but this particular ragefest has an extra ingredient: confusion and a dim sense of betrayal at Thad Cochran's Mississippi primary win. Yes, Thad ...

Media Research Center is 'America's Media Watchdog,' a right wing propaganda outlet that calls itself 'The Leader in Documenting, Exposing and Neutralizing Liberal Media Bias.'
