The Republicans’ Continued Public Relations Disaster

PJ Media reports:
To begin with, time for Republican fat cats to realize that the media and Hollywood are really really important and open their wallets big time to change the playing field. (They’ll also make money in the process, because that’s where there’s a giant under-served audience.) Entertainment media are where minds are formed, especially those low-information voters everyone talks about incessantly. Hate the media and Hollywood all you want, but until you take them over and/or co-opt them, things are only going to get worse — you can bank on it.

Fox News is fine, but it preaches primarily to the choir. Something more is needed to do outreach to the middle of America. The Wall Street Journal, great as it is, and it is great, is only on the right on its editorial pages. There are no large newspapers in the entire country with a reporting staff tilting right. Think about that — no significant investigative reporting on the right. (Well, a few folks at Fox like Catherine Herridge and Sharyl Attkisson, recently canned by the court eunuchs at CBS.) This has to change.
Another great column from Roger L. Simon.
