Since superficiality and negativity are anthema to conservatives there is inherent conflict between journalism and conservatism..

Wouldn't we love for this to be the truth. Human beings love superficiality and negativity, and conservatives are not in any way immune.

You are right in the sense that conservatives walking past a newsstand are almost as badly suckered by the negative headline
Is Your Drinking Water Unsafe?
as anyone else.

But I am right in the sense that the political implications of negativity toward the things--e.g., drinking water--upon which we-the-people depend are anathema to conservatism.
