I know what you mean, but...the truth is...the media is going to attack conservatives no matter what. Even if they are right in fact and context, they will be attacked and “debunked”.
They will say the conservative is bad, and has been “debunked”, even if no such effort (to determine if there is truth in it or not) has been carried out.
Even if given the correct context or facts, it may be years or even decades before a correction or retraction is written.
If it is ever written.
And no amount of being right changes it.
M. Stanton Evans had fought the New York Times in an ongoing battle since Senator Joseph McCarthy died, and the NYT, up until Evans died in 2015, steadfastly refused to correct the record on an element that was obviously wrong in a defamatory way.
They just flat out refused. So, for our part, it is great to be right and know we are right. But on their part, they could care less.
That is cynical for me to simply accept that, but it IS the truth.
Yes, in regard to news media . . . but I failed to mention, I was thinking about the audience, along the scale of big down to just 1.
I find that there are almost always some people who are in the margin, who also have enough interest in history. Conveying history that they do not know, or they were mis-led, mis-taught, or missed altogether . . . helps them away from the left.
Many times, I have seen “Republicans” fumble, because they “Don’t No Much About History” - but they are Pence “conservatives” of Let’s Make a Deal that is fashionable among Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney, RINO’s.
Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, Pope John Paul II, Victor Orban (Hungary), Thomas Sowell, Walter E. Williams, Jr., Clarence Thomas, Rush Limbaugh and his father (and brother), are all examples of how knowledge of history is enough of a magnet for conservation of liberty.
