Karan's right, the whiny conservative rant about media bias is getting really old. If conservatives want to take the media over, they're going to have to qualify as capable of doing so. Unfortunately, there just aren't that many articulate, talented writers out there who identify with conservative politics -- that's just the truth.
My Republican buddies all gravitate toward sales and other money-hording enterprises, which makes sense, but maybe there's a general theme here: The
conservatives don't have the hearts to be good journalists. Of course they end up with all the money, so nobody's better than anybody else. Point is, Republicans can't dominate the monetary and creative world.
Have Republicans ever made a legitimate, creative contribution to the world of arts? Where is the Republican feature length answer to Michael Moore? Republicans, in general, appear to be bad at art and meaningful outlets of artistic expression, which maybe answers why they are so weak when it comes to writing and films. Look at the conservative players in Hollywood; they're all action-film jokes like Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarznegger.
If the Republicans could consistently write and produce decent, meaningful films, they would. Unfortunately they can't so they don't. It's not a conspiracy, it's a talent pool and they wade in the shallow end.
