I want my FR TV!
We got ganged up on.
I have been thinking the same thing.
We need new ways to reach people.
The internet has saved our bacon a few times.
But we need new ways.
I always thought we had it with FOX news. They sure turned into a bunch of backstabber and sold us out.
Agreed! This election was actually a win for old media. But how exactly do you go about increasing conservative presence in old media? Especially after such a convincing election win as this one is sickeningly turning out to be?
So start one. It's not rocket science. 20,000 copies, tabloid style, folded and bundled runs about $1150 in most markets, including a spot color. (16 pages.)
Just figure out how to pay for getting it out, since that's going to be your biggest cost. Alas, we'll waste what it'd cost to start ten of these papers, cover their distribution, etc for two years fighting to prove a hundred votes were frauds.
what we need, is our own George Soros. A conservative "money man" who will invest in information outlets. The audience is there for them, but we have to expand beyond talk radio and FR, we just don't reach enough people.
Ditto that. It's pretty clear that Fox News has been lost.
We need to convert some Machachas!
Hell even hotair.com and michelle malkin seemed to be in the democrats camp!
No Baptists allowed.
Hey, Kath'rin, y'listening? The evangelicals may be ready to leave you the heck alone.
There's gotta be another way. Maybe our own Conservative party, now that the Kristol bunch has thoroughly fragged us out. How can we do worse?
If Allen loses, we can definitely thank CNN and especially MSNBC.
This sounds awfully lot like someone whining about the refs after a sports game. We've won plenty before against the MSM and some of that was before Fox and the internet. What lost us this race was an inept and disorganized campaign. I mean what was our message this time? Did we have much of a unified one?
So much for those "Dinosaur Media Alerts" and reports of circulation and ratings dwindling--not to mention that we're still powerful as the opposition party.
We got our message out. The people were not buying what we were selling.
I think we need some rabid attack dogs in the style of Carville on TV everytime a rat does something.
Hey ... we gota lock on AM radio Mon - Fri during working hours.... what else do we need?
Yes indeed, we need a conservative media platform that is able to penetrate the crap out there with good information and entertainment that doesn't paint itself as conservaitve.
Chris Matthews, Katie Couric, etc. would never call themselves "liberal." Professional media with high standards and a different point of view, especially in the war on terror and the situation in Iraq.
Fox News has not done enough to really dig deep into the good things that are happening on the streets of Iraq.
They do a lot of glamour and glitz, you know, alongside some good reports.
I want it all, audio, video, interactive etc. on a platform somewhere.
Edward R. Murrow and his band invented broadcast journalism out of their hatred of Naziism. We must invent a new media journalism out of the threat of Islamofascism.
The big media companies may not give us access so we must consider the web as the place to do it and do it right with no wild eyed approach, but a professional and factual approach that confronts the evils head on.
Well we have just witnessed the old media flexing that they still control the dialog. CNN ABC CBS et al were all smiling tonight.
Since 2004 it has been a non-stop assault on the president and the Republicans but ot be fair the Republicans did nothing to help their cause.
So I welcome this change to get my party back to it's base ( us) and realize that CONSERVATISM WINS not mealy mouth moderation. As Jason Lewis put it...if you run like a Democrat and sound like a Democrat...the American public will elect the real Democrat!
Boy 2008 is gonna be a mess. We better get our ***t together.
Am I just NOW!-Hearing what I have been saying for YEARS!!!
Is there some else out there!!.. I mean!: Should I dare to HOPE! that there IS "Someone" else out there that Realizes that in 2006-

Come ON NOW RUSH!!
You can't take all that money with you!
