We can't use terms that can be applied to any side of "partisan hacks"? I've used the term to describe both Limbaugh and Stewart. They both have an angry and sarcastic tone that harps on ideological issues at the expense of objectivity. I think we can call them both hacks who are exceptionally good at what they do - entertain listeners who want to hear about politics in a wya that gets their blood boiling.

I can use "political hackery" without being the same as a Marxist who uses terms like Proletariat and Burgeoisie - which are arguable ideological groupings - rather than objective adjectives.
Hmmm...perhaps I shouldn't have attributed partisanship and hackery to the right. Partisan not, because both major parties suffer from it. And hackery not, because I in fact haven't got the faintest clue what the word means, if anything at all.

'Media bias', 'liberal elite', and a certain anti-intellectualism though, are distinctly conservative issues. I can't be bothered to write a page long essay about it, sorry. Can't find a decent link either. Which of course, even if I did, would no doubt be considered biased itself. )
