Radio and Magazines are easier for a small company or firm to make a profit out of. While Newspapers have a hard time producing a profit, and Television news needs the far reaching network across the world to keep up with the minute to minute news stories the other stations have.

Hence, Newspapers and Television media are owned exclusivly by large conglomerates. They tend to be more liberal and drown out conservative voices. Maybe keeping a few RINOs as their token conservatives.

While Radio and Magazines tend to be more conservative since it is easier for small companies to produce a profit.

Think about it, take Fox News out of the equation and who is there left? Novak? Keyes is gone.

Take out the Wall Street Journal and Washingtion Times and who is left? Nobody.

True.

But we have a conservative President. Reagan was elected not too long ago. Where do their voters get their news? It can't be too difficult to find conservative views.

Of course, you can always argue that Reagan was an anomaly, that what you usually get are RINO's of one flavor or another. But the Left has the same problem. That's the way our system works. It's not the fault of bias in the major media.

I'm at a disadvantage here.

I get my news exclusively from the Internet, where of course you can find anything. But I seem to remember that, with the proliferation of channels, you can find quite a bit of variety on the tube as well.
