But maybe that's exactly what needs to happen. Conservatives like the Koch brothers, Trump, etc, need to start buying papers, cable systems, movie studios, record labels, and so on. Those of us who don't have the means to make those big purchases need to pool our money into a fund that does the same. Certainly if there aren't already conservative media funds out there, they could be created, right? Once that fund (or those funds) owned controlling interest in, say, Time Warner, we conservatives, as a group, could exercise control over what programming goes out. If we bought Dreamworks SKG, we could determine which movies get produced and which don't, which stars get hired and which don't (read: Jim Carrey. In that way, we could all put our money where our mouths are. Surely there's some enterprising investment person or team out there that could make that happen.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Bill Whittle is certainly trying. Conservative seem to want to avoid the media all together so we get what we get.
I can say that if they don't invest in media they will have helped kill the government that made their wealth possible. Who will then protect their wealth?
In Philadelphia there are two newspapers and both are owned by something called (I think) Newscorp. Anyway they are both uber liberal rags, the Daily News and the Inquirer. A few years ago they were both about to go broke and an investment group pooled their money and bought them, saving them from certain collapse. However, the head of the group was a republican and the reporters revolted. They insisted he sign a pledge not to try to influence them or the editorial page or they would go on strike. He signed it, ensuring that the hard core lefties would remain and the paper would continue the downward spiral. Proves that just because someone who isn't a liberal democrat gets control of a newspaper you can't assume it will stop being a liberal rag.
About a year ago, the group sold the papers to another consortium, this time formed from a bunch of prominent rich democrats. Not a peep from the reporters about that.
