"Got kids? Encourage them to major in journalism or education when they get to college. "

How about we force newspapers and television networks (not to mention Universities) to hire conservatives NOW?

That sounds a bit brown-shirt. Just let the market work its will. Talk radio is now almost a conservative monopoly. It is quite "unfair" to liberals. The market is a harsh and demanding mistress.

As I said, the left didn't spring up overnight in the journalism and education fields. This was a patient effort, and there is no quick fix.

Work from the grassroots. Combat ignorance by talking with neighbors. I've been able to tell a few people something they didn't know while standing on line at the supermarket, just by commenting on a headline on the magazine rack.

Don't get locked into the idea that if you can't make a big bang then it's not worth it. The little things add up.

That won't work, Bob. I used to work in radio and I've seen the textbooks used in journalism studies. They are some of the worst, most biased pieces of garbage ever written, and are treated as gospel. No one gets anywhere in journalism or the universities without toeing a Stalinist line.

How do you do that?
