Most conservatives will tell you that America is basically a conservative nation, a free enterprise nation, where the market determines programming. And yet they will usually tell you that the mainstream American media is liberal, and deliberately angers the mainstream American people with all the liberal garbage, even in the face of massive pretest, and that the FOX network is a lonely voice of conservative reason in a liberal media wasteland.
Conservatives seem to think that America's newspapers and television networks are slowly committing suicide out of sheer stupidity, or fanatical, unreasoning devotion to liberalism which trumps even the profit motive...
It seems incredible that anyone could believe all this, because it simple doesn't make sense or add up, yet, strangely, many people believe all of it.
All media, except public TV and radio, is about profit. Profit and only profit. Good old fashioned conservative American capitalistic profit. And, in general, they've done well at it.
