I believe that the American people are conservative. I'm hopeful that eventually, through their participation, we will get a Conservative majority in American politics.

The blogosphere is helping in that regard; fact-checking the ol' MSM that formerly had free rein to shape public opinion through propaganda. The MSM still follows the old play book, but thankfully now they get caught when they lie.

Got my Journalism degree in the late 70's. The media landscape has certainly changed for the better, due in part to Rush Limbaugh's enormous success in the 80's and to the Internet.

The MSM had an elite world view and controlled the means by which to shape public perceptions: With every story, the subtext was...Democrats good; Republicans bad - blah, blah, blah.
