Buchanan:

^"Perhaps the only institution in America whose approval rating is beneath that of Congress is the media.

Both have won their reputations the hard way. They earned them.

Is it just me, or is all this hand-wringing about "the liberal media" affecting the elections and affecting the economy and affecting the moral turpitude of our nation completely at odds with the conservative idea of personal responsibility?

How can you, simultaneously, say that people should be able to regulate their own money (not that I'm disagreeing, at least not completely) and say that the media influences people to vote for x or do y or think z?

It's completely hypocritical, but not the least bit unexpected.

This, republicans, is why William F. Buckley's family, Colin Powell and tons of very intelligent military higher-ups, Scott McClellan, William Weld, Arne Carlson, etc have endorsed Obama...

Because the republican party has gone to shit. It has almost always been on the wrong side of history, but usually at least a good number of people in it were decent, intelligent, intellectual small-government conservatives.

Now they're mostly just overly religious, right-wing, ridiculous cranks. Not that I want you all to fix this and start winning elections again, but if you want to be in power again, you're going to have to get a huge, elephant-sized mirror and take a long, hard look into it.
