“The left is losing on all fronts: in getting operatives elected to the state legislatures, elected to the governor’s mansions, elected to the House and the Senate,”

The left STILL own much of the media, academia and entertainment sectors.

This war is a LONG way from the left losing.

That's all true, but there's evidence they don't have the power they once had, and they're certainly headed in the wrong direction. Exhibit A: the election of Nov. 2. They tried everything, to no avail.

The media sold us a bill of goods in Obama, and people are pretty angry about it. For years the MSM's credibility was in question, Obama's election was cathartic. Academia is being exposed pretty much single-handedly by the global warming hoax, with the revelation that science has been manipulated. Movies that take direct aim at the right don't sell anymore.

All of this evidence is certainly a matter of degree, but at some point trust in an institution can be completely shattered by something seemingly innocuous.

The events of the last week provide just another example of the media's failed attempt to shape our opinions, in my view.
