Question: “How can conservatives best hope to reverse the flow of increasing liberal bias in the media?” — Schroman2002

Answer: Schroman my man, we have already reversed the flow. Heck, even 10 years ago the Swift Boat Vets for Truth would have made almost zero impact and Rather would have gotten away with those forged documents. But, today? Conservatives can use Fox, talk radio, and the internet to counter the left.

Sure the left still has a significant advantage over us since liberals have a potent net presence and runs ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, & CNN, the overwhelming majority of the influential papers, but slowly yet surely, things are going our way.

In fact, over the next decade or so, I wouldn’t be surprised to see the big 3 networks lose so many viewers that they’ll get out of the news business all together. And as they bleed viewers, Fox and the internet should be able to pick up the slack, which is only going to help conservatives level the playing field.

I can’t tell you exactly when it’s going to be, but I truly believe the day is going to come when the conservative media is going to reach parity with the liberal media. And when that day comes, the left is going to be in deep trouble because a friendly mainstream media is probably the biggest advantage that they currently have over us…
