The End of Right Wing Media?
Will Fox News and right wing radio fade away?
I pray not. I attribute to no small part the presence of such folks as O'Reilly, Hannity, Limburgh, and bloggers such as Coulter and Malkin to perhaps 50 electoral votes of the the Democrat's victory. They are tactically necessary to underscore how vacuous are the ideas of modern-day Republicanism. Instead of unfolding a program to solve unemployment, they would much prefer to post a video of Reverand Wright waving his arms. They market irrelevancies and fear mongering. What ever audience they have is less an endorsement of their views than rubber-necking at a train crash. The vital center of our elecorate are neither right or left. The right-wing media scared the moderates leftward and turned conservatives into moderates or liberals.
Long may they thrive.
