I enjoyed reading this. The journey was different than mine, but the starting and ending points are similar.

The slanted coverage of the Clarence Thomas hearings, on PBS and the major networks, by Nina Totenberg and others, convinced me to break away from Liberalism and the Democratic Party. I watched most of the hearings and was stunned at the huge gap between what happened and what the liberal reporters said happened.

Who wants to be associated with a group that needs to lie so much?

My 'journey' from left to right was not dissimilar. I guess like most kids in their late teens, I tended to be liberal. That morphed into apolitical. It was the '92 presidential election that woke me up. As apolitical as I was, I couldn't help but notice the blatant bias in the media, how they were all for Clinton and against Bush. Having begun college as a journalism major, where impartiality and objectivity were sacrosanct, I said to myself, "What the hell is going on here?" And thus, the rightward move began.
