First, RedState has zero credibility.

Second, there is no “conservative media”. Nor should there be. It’s bad enough that most of the media leans left but you cannot right a wrong by doing the same thing in the opposite direction. Media should be unbiased and have the integrity to report both sides objectively. As much as people hate it, the Fairness Doctrine was created with that goal in mind.

But when all media is supported by advertising it is inevitable that performers like Rush, Levin, Hannitty and all the rest must create a persona in order to form a bond with their audience. High ratings is a measure that they’ve done that well, not that they know what they’re talking about or have any special knowledge or expertise. “Sports Talk” is a perfect example.

At last, a sane mind calls it right.
