Conservative punditocracy
Conservatives really have their act together, don’t they? Each one of the right-wing planks have at least one staunch advocate in the blogosphere, print or radio. I think of it like a baseball team, each one playing their position:
Richard Mellon Scaife/Sun Myung Moon - co-owners
Coach - Ann Coulter
Hollywood - Michael Medved
Higher education - David Horowitz
Courts - Mark Levin
Iraq & Patriotism - Sean Hannity
Blacks and their victim mentality - Larry Elder
Bias in the MSM - Brent Bozell
Mike Gallagher is the batboy
It’s no conspiracy, but each of the conservative talking points are well-represented with their respective advocates and detractors. Progressives are on the little dinghy that is Air America (and maybe NPR but I don’t listen to it often). Is it the free market that saturates the airwaves with conservatives? I once e-mailed Bob Miller of KPAM, a local AM talker, and he said people just like conservatives more. True? Time to bring back the Fairness Doctrine? Would it be used to squash conservative talkers, or is that a canard? Hmm…
