But the media could easily be taken back.
Most of the media (print and TV) is controlled by just a few players (5 to be exact Viacom, AOL Time Warner, Disney, Clear Channel and News Corp). Simply have a conservative billionaire (or a small group of billionaires) buy these out and suddenly overnight conservatives would control nearly all media in the country.
Taking back education is a little tuffer but could be done over time. Unlike the entertainment industry, I don't believe that education is intrinsically liberal, if anything I think education is more naturally intrinsically conservative. But the first thing that MUST be done is to utterly and completely destroy the teachers unions like Reagan destroyed the air traffic controllers.
The people that own those corporations are part of a very select group. They share an identity. They know the power they wield. The purpose of owning these corporations is not to make money but to control that power and to deny it to anyone outside their group. They would never willingly give up those media assets to anyone other than the "right" people.
A true conservative American patriot with a Trillion dollars and a map to the Fountain of Youth wouldn't even be let in the front door.
When I saw your post about a conservative billionaire buying up the MSM and I thought you were silly. I though the market caps were too high but I ran the numbers and it is doable for a few of those.
AOL-Time Warner 3.5B
NewsCorp 10B
Clear Channel 3.5B
The others are probably too big for all but the richest of superbillionaires.
Disney 130B
Viacom 38B
Comcast 106B
