I think Fox News does a pretty good job representing the Right. There’s Tucker Carlson(sometimes), Glenn Beck.
Conservatives definitely control most talk radio, I mean radio America is a joke and a HUGE proportion of Americans sit in their cars each day in traffic going to and from work.
Broadcast journalism, the ABC/CBS/NBC’s I think and am assuming here that a lot of retired people must watch them or people put it on in the background, and they do have a liberal tilt as not many conservatives go into journalism, and probably never will, it’s not that profitable, and there’s a lot of “warm fuzzy” crap they would have to deal with. No thanks.

When you say some American is "conservative," you actually mean that they think that a contract written yesterday has the same meaning today, and that it should be enforced as intended, not as might come to seem "nice" to people judging it later. Especially as might seem "nice" to people with no skin in the game.

Americans actually believe in liberty, which is not conservative because liberty means a lot of people making up their own minds about what they will do, and therefore tends to result in change rather than in maintaining the status quo. Consequently "liberal" is a positive label to Americans - and as such is a label which those with propaganda power here have tended to award to their friends. And "conservative" - although in a very limited sense germane - is actually on the surface a negative to Americans, and therefore is a label which those with the propaganda power to do so have tended to award as a booby prize to their adversaries.

Isn’t Glenn Beck on CNN?
