Republicans wrote the political dictionary: It’s proof Democrats don’t control the media
It’s hard to know where to begin in dismantling the Republican canard that Democrats control the media. Fox News is the most popular 24-hour news network by a whoosh and a cachung. Rush Limbaugh is the most powerful radio host, and lots of little Limbaughs line up behind him. Sarah Palin is the biggest media-political crossover star. And in an increasingly fragmented Internet, the Drudge Report continues to drives more political traffic than any other website. In italics and bold, to boot.
Where to begin? Let’s see….ONE cable news channel as opposed to 2, plus the network alphabets. Uh huh. Got it. Now, I will admit, there are a lot more conservative talkers out there on the radio. Why? Well, because liberal talk show hosts actually suck. They are all emotion, and no fact. So they fail. Miserably. And what business person would want to advertise on a radio show that totally blows? I mean….seriously! Well, unless of course if they don’t actually want anyone hearing their commercials, I suppose. As for the internet….has this guy actually LOOKED at all the left wing sites? There are more and more every day! That would include the websites from the aforementioned 2 cable stations and the alphabets.
Now, I don’t know about you, but when I see the results of a poll asking every day folks what they think, even if it isn’t ‘scientific’, I’d say that, yes, it does speak to the leanings of the media that even a four year can figure out.
