For years i've said Republicans need to file lawsuits against the media on two fronts. Ideological Discrimination, requiring an Affirmative Action hiring quotas for conservatives in media, and Federal Election law Campaign contribution violations; The Value of Media contributions to liberal candidates which pretends to be news.

Ah! But therein lies the rub. You see, no true conservative could do as you suggest, because the use of Affirmative Action is morally abhorrent, the FEC is illegitimate, and the judgement of media bias requires application of social mores, which the enemy does not understand.

None would ordinarily think of it. *I* on the other hand, find the idea of making them eat their own Shat to be so irresistible, that I just don't think I could help myself. I believe in something called "enlightened hypocrisy"; The basis of which is to avoid being put at a disadvantage because of an insistence on standing on principle when the enemies will not. We are under no obligation to play fair with criminals.

Fairness is for dealing with fair people. Promises made under duress are invalid. As the French would say:" à bon chat, bon rat."

Forcing media to hire conservatives on the basis of their own "affirmative action" principles would be hoisting them by their own petard. It would be AWESOME in the degree of HORROR it would engender in people who very desperately need to be made afraid.
