Aye, this comports with a realization I had recently.

Too often, despite the facts AND the truth being on our side,
we FReepers and fellow conservatives get our heads handed to
us on a platter by the 'dominant media (liberal) culture'.

Why is this?

Why else, but that the left works through INSTITUTIONS (see Gramsci for example) while conservatives work through individuals.

Three important aspects of this:

1) Institutions are largely UNACCOUNTABLE

2) Institutions have 'built-in' CREDIBILILTY (branding,
prestige, what have you);

3) It is much easier to SMEAR an INDIVIDUAL rather than an institution!

Thoughts, comments welcome. Flames to be used to warm up my Viking Kitty!

Nobody suggests that the Internet isn't important. But, for now, in military terms, traditional media holds the high ground, and it's very high ground indeed.

The Appalachian mountain range was very high ground at one time until it was worn down by explorers seeking the West.

And, according to a story in Radio World Newspaper on January 14 of this year, Fox has commitments from only about 150 radio stations to try the new Fox Radio news service.

That's because Fox only offers one-minute news updates at the top of the hour. Most radio stations expect three to six minutes. (I don't know where the author got his info about most stations taking only "60-second or 90-second" newscasts. That simply isn't the case.)

If Fox would start offering a full 3-to-6-minute newscast every hour, they would start getting a lot more affiliates.
