Eh, this seems like small-thinking.

If Conservatives were serious about getting the message out, they’d start proactively thinking up and exploring ways to decentralize TV/telecommunications/others and the FCC, in order to bust up the media conglomerate cartels and give the American people real media choices.

"to bust up the media conglomerate cartels and give the American people real media choices."

The media is already in major splinter mode. Also, John Ziegler makes a great point on his blog that a splintered and diversified media might not work in conservatives' favor.

We conservatives were primarily listening to Rush, Foxnews, etc. and drank the Kool-Aid. We got to hear what we wanted to hear and the liberals got to hear what they wanted to hear on CNN.

Meanwhile the vast majority of Americans are watching Entertainment Tonight and Honey Boo-Boo, and the "capitalists" (liberal or conservative or more likely amoral and apolitical) that own the media corporations are just trying to make a profit and don't care what ways the political winds blow. They will adapt their message to continue to generate profits at the expense of family values, constitutional government, and principled conservatism.
