Nita, I wish I shared your optimism. However, the media is just one step in a larger journey against leftist bias in our society. And perhaps the only place it is more blatant than the media is in academia itself. Our kids are not so much sent to school as to little socialist indoctrination camps. Socialism is the tome of the day. Most teachers can't last five years in the profession and it's not because the work is too hard--it's the politicization of the entire educational system, including administrators, texts, and the educators themselves. We see this time and again, but I'm just preaching to the choir, I guess. Time for me to get off my first post soapbox and leave the real debate to you professionals. And Pukin Dog--hit it right on the head, my man. Free jammies coming your way.

Well, as a member of academia, I can tell you that more and more conservatives are coming out of the closet, so to speak. And I see much promise in the current crop of students. Remember, they're Internet-savvy. Those liberal professors now have some major competition when trying to shape minds.

Take heart!

The good news is that the kids have access to computers. I'm even somewhat optimistic about the DU types. They actually come here and see the truth and some of it has to eventually rub off on them. At least they have no excuse for being stupid. The difference here at FR is that we post both conservative and liberal articles, news, etc. and then pick them apart to find the truth in them. Places like DU only tolerate one point of view. But they still encounter the truth from time to time on the internet.

Time for me to get off my first post soapbox...

And by the way, I meant to address that but was in a hurry last night.

That was an excellent first post and I hope you never step down again. We need each and every one of you lurkers to sign up and join the New Media. I'm amazed at how many new people are signing up or posting or the 1st time on this thread. Cool!
