FNN's slogan is "fair and balanced." As a former journalist that's the way I want it. Look at it this way: where else other than FNN do you even hear the conservative side presented? Thank God someone is doing it. The only way to present a story is with the best possible blend of both sides of issues so readers/viewers can truly make up their own minds based on real facts -- not one-sided liberal distortions.
I simply have never been able to understand why big-money conservatives like Steve Forbes don't get behind media that will counter the liberal kultursmog. Sometimes I think conservatives are terminally naive, or maybe they simply take Satchell Paige's advice to "never look back, somethin' may be gainin' on ya'." IMO the only person who's really in the game is David Horowitz and his Center for the Study of Popular Culture. He's worked the other side of the street, so he knows they're not only gainin' on us, they've damn' near got us cornered. He's out on college campuses lecturing on reparations for slavery despite being ridiculed and shunned by the elites. He preaches, not to the choir as most of us do, but to people who really need to hear his message. He's actually doing something.
Whether in fine art, popular art or the art of daily survival, we've got to start fighting fire with fire. The first and best thing to do is start countering the evil lies of Political Correctness even if our politicians won't. That means we have to throw off our fears of being called ugly names and start telling the public the truth. That means we need legions of smart, well-educated, articulate, politically conservative people to counter the endless lies in today's media. Someone has to start fighting back, soon.
Oh absolutely!! To quote Monsieur Carville: "DIS IS WAW!!!" If we can't rely on the big money conservatives then us little-money conservatives will MAKE big money, and then pour it into the war effort.
Point taken on FNN. Balanced is the way we want it. When I spoke of the sensationalism I meant more the Fox broadcast network and its penchant for depraved teeny bopper soap operas and cheap thrills programming ala "When Snapping Turtles Attack Part XXII".
