Ted Turner really knows how to keep his personal politics out of the newsroom. Wha-wha-wha. You know what, we are big people. We know spin when we see it and we know liberal and conservative viewpoints when we see them. The Fox news channel is the only network that treats a conservative viewpoint as something worthy of consideration. You most likely have a problem with that. It also explains why they have been so successful. That being said, I found the perfect counter article: http://www.city-journal.org/html/13_4_were_not_losing.html We�re Not Losing the Culture Wars Anymore Brian C. Anderson The Left�s near monopoly over the institutions of opinion and information�which long allowed liberal opinion makers to sweep aside ideas and beliefs they disagreed with, as if they were beneath argument�is skidding to a startlingly swift halt. The transformation has gone far beyond the rise of conservative talk radio, that, ever since Rush Limbaugh�s debut 15 years ago, has chipped away at the power of the New York Times, the networks, and the rest of the elite media to set the terms of the nation�s political and cultural debate. Almost overnight, three huge changes in communications have injected conservative ideas right into the heart of that debate. Though commentators have noted each of these changes separately, they haven�t sufficiently grasped how, taken together, they add up to a revolution: no longer can the Left keep conservative views out of the mainstream or dismiss them with bromide instead of argument. Everything has changed... I guess to be fair and balanced I will have to watch CNN and Fox, but that takes way to much time. I will just keep to Rush and NPR during my working hours.
