CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JANUARY 30, 2016
FOR AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER – AND THAT IS A LONG TIME – THE MODERN MEDIA AND JOURNALISM IN PARTICULAR, HAVE DISPLAYED A LIBERAL BIAS TOWARD THE NEWS AND CULTURE. THE BIAS IS DISPLAYED NOT ONLY ON WHAT THEY COVER, BUT WHAT THEY IGNORE.
THAT MAY BE ABOUT TO CHANGE, AT LEAST EVER SO SLIGHTLY. YOU MY HAVE HEARD ABOUT BARI WEISS. SHE’S THE NEW EDITOR IN CHIEF WHO IS TRYING TO SHAKEUP CBS NEWS. SHE IS QUOTED AS SAYING THE NETWORK IS “NOT PRODUCING A PRODUCT THAT ENOUGH PEOPLE WANT.”
BINGO! THAT’S WHAT CONSERVATIVES AND CHRISTIANS HAVE BEEN SAYING FOR DECADES. IT IS WHY SO MANY HAVE TUNED OUT THE MAJOR MEDIA AND TUNED IN TO FOX NEWS, TALK RADIO AND NOW THE CALIFORNIA POST, WHICH LAUNCHED AN ALTERNATIVE TO THE LIBERAL LOS ANGELES TIMES THIS WEEK.
LET’S SEE HOW THEIR BUSINESS MODEL WORKS. IF THE CALIFORNIA POST WINS BACK READERS WHO ABANDONED THE L.A. TIMES, WE WILL HAVE ALL THE PROOF NEEDED TO DEMONSTRATE THAT THIS VAST DEMOGRAPHIC HAS BEEN IGNORED TO THE FINANCIAL HARM OF THE L.A. TIMES AND OTHER NEWSPAPERS.
EVEN IF YOU DON’T LIVE IN L.A. YOU CAN SUBSCRIBE TO A DIGITAL VERSION OF THE CALIFORNIA POST. AND SEE THE DIFFERENCE. I’M CAL THOMAS.
