I'm curious where the author gets the following information:

On National Review Online, the dominant conservative media source for college students...

According to whom?

As measured by Alexa web-traffic rankings, FreeRepublic.Com is MUCH bigger than NationalReview.Com (ranked #1,233 in the world versus NRO at #2,086).
And in turn, LewRockwell.Com is MUCH bigger than FreeRepublic.Com (ranked #774 in the world versus FR at #1,233).

Unless the web-surfing material of College-age Conservatives, constitutionals, libertarians and assorted right-wingers is just radically different from that of their elders, I think the author may be over-estimating NRO's influence just a tad.

Yes, but Alexa skews results. We FReepers aren't allowed to take internet polling and stat engines as seriously as other people since our activities tend to FReep them.
