Steven, I agree with your premise regarding sticking to core issues in economics. There is certainly no shortage of conservatively biased news outlets, they simply don't seem to get much attention. Since people are pretty much free to look for news where they want it, what conclusions can we draw from that? If you're referring to the internet. I agree. If you're referring to television or print media. I don't. Very few newspapers or television outlets have a conservative flavor to them. Sure, you can find them in a few large cities if you go looking. But the degree and access is quite limited. However, talk radio and the internet has filled the void rather well for those inclined to listen or access the net for news. I have a theory as to why.... Talk radio and the internet are two way mediums. Therefore, ideas can be challenged in a back and forth way. Print media and television are (for the most part) one way mediums. Liberals feel safer in a one way controlled communications environment. As a small example, take a look at the way Hillary and Al Gore duck reporters in free-wheeling sessions, as compared to their opponents. One of the only exceptions recently was Bill Bradley. And the public (although respecting his honesty) wasn't going to support a socialist agenda. I've noticed the same thing happen here (in a limited way)when I post articles which give a conservative point of view. Some people react as if I shouldn't have the right to post them. And one person has actually told me never to post to her, yet she feels free to place her point of view in my inbox over and over. That's fairly typical of the mainstream news way of thinking.
