Follow-up to Maize's blog and why so many liberals are turning to conservative media. My initial comment on Maize's blog: Conservative media is winning for one simple reason: Time and time again, they turn out to be right, and the liberal media is found to be wrong. People eventually want news they can rely on, so they go where they can get the WHOLE story, from sources that have a proven track record. GBU all, Gavin Quoting Rentier1: The conservative media were right about invading Iraq and Afghanistan? I don't think so. I don't necessarily agree with the liberal media but at least the causes they trumpet don't kill and main American . My response: Yes they were right. Iraq and Afghanistan really were invaded. By the USA in fact. Maybe your liberal media missed it? You see, it's not EITHER media's function to "trumpet" anything. Just report, and make some effort to be unbiased. Conservative media makes a better effort at non-biased reporting than the mainstream liberal media. They have to. That's because they are not the majority, and for them to succeed they have to prove more accurate over the long run. Fortunately, the liberal media is so much more biased and makes no effort to show either the truth or even mention the opposing viewpoints, that conservative media is beating them out in the ratings. PEOPLE WANT NEWS THEY CAN TRUST, EVEN MORE THAN THEY WANT NEWS THAT SUPPORTS THEIR PERSONAL VIEWS. (End quote) Today, more and more Liberals are turning to conservative media, because they have learned they often wind up looking foolish if they only get one side. That doesn't mean they become conservatives. It means they are better informed and make better judgments before they make fools of themselves. They learn which liberal positions are worthy of defending, and which ones they should not. As a result, they are better able to support valid liberal causes. GBU all, Gavin |

Then can I assume you look to John Stewart and Steven Colbert for serious journalism? GBU, Gavin
