There is no substitute for recognizing the truth, and teaching it. The truth is that:
- journalism is leftist. It just is, and it is understandable only when you consider that journalists are mere critics who dont get things done, and socialism is the creed of the superiority of criticism over accomplishment.
- The only possible reason that journalists would temper their tendency to coddle Democrats would be competition among journalists to get the truth out - but there is no effective competition within journalism.
- Ideological competition within journalism is entirely suppressed for the simple reason that all major journalism is joined at the hip by the AP newswire.
- Academia has the same incentives as journalism does, and it is as ideologically homogeneous as journalism is. That makes it excruciatingly difficult to raise up succeeding generations of conservatives. But IMHO KhanAcademy.org may show the way. It is possible to create an entire curriculum independent of the public school system at dramatically less cost than the conventional classroom educational approach. But the point has to be to avoid teaching that journalism is objective, when that is not a necessary assumption and there is no proof of it, and plenty of historical evidence against it.
- Liberals and progressives are mere code words which are euphemisms for agreeing with journalists perspective, but not being working journalists. Journalists will accord its acolytes any positive label except objective, which it reserves to itself.
You’re making my point for me.
the key is to MANIPULATE THE MEDIA. Show them something they can’t ignore: NEW leadership. A NEW start. The public perception is refreshed.
