The trouble with wanting "the news" is that the story selection criteria which make "the news" interesting and therefore make a news outlet profitable are inherently anticonservative:First reports are usually wrong. Instead of focusing on the latest news, focus on reliable (i.e., proven track record) commentary. And that will direct you to a conservative editorial page such as that of The Wall Street Journal. And also to a web site known as FreeRepublic.com. Better yet, read a book.
- If it bleeds, it leads. And [if it bleeds] it also inherently insinuates that the powers-that-be ought to have prevented it.
- "Man Bites Dog" rather than "Dog Bites Man" makes news stories unrepresentative of what usually happens.
- "Always make your deadline" (the print version of 'the show must go on') makes journalism superficial.
If you want to know what is going on, "the news" is a distraction. The conservative thing to do is simply to discount the news.
