Your statement is totally correct, I would add, however, that progress is being made by our side on all fronts, and small inroads into the left's domination of these institutions will prove to be disproportianately detrimental to the Left's cause.
Due to Fox News, Limbaugh, the Washington Times, etc., there is an awareness which, though not there ten years ago, now causes the Left's tactics and mantras to be less effective, people consider the source now, and that's a good thing.
