The left succeeds by pretending history doesn't exist, that can be countered but at a pretty high cost.
What makes you think mainstream channels would air them?
Teradittos!
I'm sure great screenplays can be created from Whittaker Chambers' autobiography Witness and Arthur Koestler's anti-Stalinist novel Darkness at Noon. Why not find a Hollywood studio that would make movies of them? And why not turn M. Stanton Evans' Blacklisted by History, the story of Senator Joe McCarthy, or Ronald Radosh's The Rosenberg File into a documentary?
“The Soviet Union is commended for its great strides in space exploration, but America’s moon landing is not mentioned.”
Pravda USA almost ignored Neil Armstrong’s passing away completely. No specials on tv that I’m aware of that commemorated his accomplishments. Not even on the Science or NatGeo channels. But they did have gator wrasslin and hillbilly hand fishing programming!
I think it is entirely possible to retake at least a part of academia for conservatives. With the current economic system many colleges and universities are relying on adjunct or part time faculty more and more. If Freepers with advanced degrees, (Masters or Doctorate), who have some time available, obtain positions at colleges think of the impact we can have. Sure adjunct faculty are generally limited to a few courses per semester but we begin to make a difference one classroom at a time. I have been teaching humanities and history at my local CC.
It is very gratifying each semester to hear from students how I’ve opened their eyes and got them to think critically. And that is really all it is, thinking critically. I don’t preach to them or advance my agenda. I often end up playing the left’s position in the role of Devil’s Advocate. I just make sure that I present both sides of any issue we are discussing and then let the students decide....it is amazing how many of them are really conservative and didn’t even realize it.
