A majority of Americans recognize that the MSM has a bias, and a plurality understand that the bias is leftwards. That is good. But how many Americans catch every correction, every chastening by new media?
Recognition of the general concept of bias is not enough. People need to know of all the instances, such as this one:
ABC has released excerpts from Charlie Gibson’s interview with Sarah Palin, and in one of them, he attempts to catch her out by asking her to explain something she said:
GIBSON: You said recently, in your old church, “Our national leaders are sending U.S. soldiers on a task that is from God.” Are we fighting a holy war?
PALIN: You know, I don’t know if that was my exact quote.
GIBSON: Exact words.
In fact, it was not the exact quote; and the way Gibson quoted her is a complete misrepresentation of what she said. It may, indeed, be close to the opposite of what she said... Read the whole thing!
If Gibson was fed bad information by his team, then the person on his team who did this should be drummed out of the industry. If Gibson himself knew, then he is a low creature indeed, and it is he who should be delivering pizzas, not our news.
Even if Gibson did not know, is there any doubt that if he were interviewing Obama, he wouldn't be asking hardball questions, he would be asking if he could wash Barack's car?
The struggle for the soul of America is happening on many fronts, and that's how we need to fight it. At Modern Conservative, we have a full-spectrum approach and a generational outlook. We're not just trying to win on a few issues, we're trying to move the entire country in the right direction. And we need your help to do it!

Protests and rallies serve a purpose, and they sure are fun...but they can only do so much. Without policy initiatives and plans for implementation, all that great energy can go to waste.
Our think tank has got just the ticket, producing nationwide campaigns with achievable goals...for real results.
For too long, the left has had its way with our culture, suffusing it with propaganda, revisionism, and ugliness.
We need to do more than just complain. We need to offer resources, alternative choices, and alternative art communities... more
