Whoever once (perhaps apocryphally) said that younger conservatives have no heart and older liberals have no brain had a point.
Conservatives communicate more effectively with words and reason; progressives, by contrast, with pictures and emotion.
The Right's dominance of AM radio—has long been an annoyance to the Left, a blemish on an otherwise near-perfect record of winning the culture. Talk radio is perhaps the only major cultural redoubt the Left has failed to breach.
The New York Times, NPR, and Crooked Media have thrived in the podcast space, but here too conservatives punch well above their weight.
Where imagery is critical—television, film, and even newspapers—the viewer's attention and heart can be instantly captured. The Left spends billions of dollars per year to maintain its dominance of Hollywood, TV, and, video streaming. They understand that you can't just build it; you must market it. You must spend.
The audio medium is structurally biased in favor of the Right, which presents a unique opportunity for conservatives to become the dominant political force in the market. But they can squander their natural advantage in the audio medium if they don't prioritize investing in the constant creation and growth of new shows.

Losing the culture war...
Oh, I don’t thinks so.
Check out the reviews for Disney’s new Tron movie.
See what it’s being called on social media and why.
We’re not losing the culture war.
But Deep State and its enemdiots would certainly like us to think so.
Ummm... No.
You don’t change culture in a couple years it takes a generation...its like turning a super tanker.
The line from Churchill was, “If you are not a liberal in your twenties you have no heart. If you are not a conservative in your forties you have no brain.”
Many well known people have expressed the same thoughts in similar words. The earliest American I have found was John Adams, as recorded by Thomas Jefferson.
Golden Calf Jew.
“…television, film, and even newspapers…”
Don’t be so sure the rising generation gives a damn for any of those. My kids sure doesn’t.
If we are the unemotional, logical side. let’s list and determine the score.
#1 2 parent traditional families vs blended and partial families. What is the trend? The current state?
#2....
#3....
List significant measures of the culture. How is each side doing?
You also don’t change a culture that is collapsing.
Are you listening, Virginia and New Jersey Republicans?
