Conservative Media

Gotta run to lunch now, but in the article, "We’re Not Losing the Culture Wars Anymore", is worth a read--be warned, it's long. The article tries to analyze the conservative expression of opinion in the online (blogosphere) and cable media (Fox News) in comparison to the left liberal slant of traditional media (NYT, LAT, ABC, CBS, NBC, etc). The working theory is that in the face of the delivery of news and opinion though cable and the Internet mainstream, differing opinions can now be served with a myriad number of viewpoints, including the conservative. Author Brian C. Anderson concludes:

Think of the mainstream liberal media as one sphere and the conservative media as another. The liberal sphere, which less than a decade ago was still the media, is still much bigger than the non-liberal one. But the non-liberal sphere is expanding, encroaching into the liberal sphere, which is both shrinking and breaking up into much smaller sectarian spheres—one for blacks, one for Hispanics, one for feminists, and so on.

It’s hard to imagine that this development won’t result in a broader national debate—and a more conservative America.

Found this in Andrew Sullivan' Daily Dish for today and he entitles it "South Park Republicanism". Indeed.
