Conservative
media: the Liberals best friend
Rush
Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Mark Levine and others who carry the flag of
conservative media may have inadvertently helped the President regain the White
House. Incessantly hammering the President on every issue, from the indecent to
the superficial, may have had paradoxical effects not realized by the craftsmen
behind their microphones. Fox network, under the auspices of Sean Hannity and
others, repeatedly re-aired commercials that the Democrats concocted and aired
in selective markets in their effort to present certain perspectives. Fox’s
audience reach is exponentially greater than the original target markets for
these very negative presentations against Republicans. Hence, without paying
one dime, the Democrats found their message reaching millions of homes not the
smaller audience to which they were originally released. Conservative media
believes the majority of those who tune in are conservative, that may not be
the case. Day after day and night after night the cadre of conservative minds
pounced on Big Bird, birth control, Planned Parenthood, immigration and more
which alienated many to favor the Democrat cause. The conservative script was
the same no matter where you tuned in. Big Bird’s show produced partially with
public funds was an infinitesimally small issue that Romney should have never
exposed. Planned Parenthood, an association that helps millions of women with
gynecological issues that extend far beyond abortion, was the subject of
intense scrutiny by the right. The idiocy to lambaste such an organization is
beyond the scope of words that I can present here. Birth control was made a
cause celebre by Rush and others inadvertently providing more fuel for which
the libs could use against the opposing party. On immigration, several decades
have gone by without resolving this important issue. Obama’s backdoor Executive
Order allowing illegals to stay under certain conditions resonated well with
the Hispanic community. Romney was checkmated on this issue months before he
became the candidate of choice. The Republicans had no counter offer, but
railed against immigration anyway with the media following suit. Foreign policy
and the economy took a backseat to these less important campaign issues.
Obamacare’s true detrimental effects on medical services were never properly presented
by a media that does not understand its true nature. Romney avoided many
discussions on the fine points of Obamacare because it mimicked his own legislation
which he inflicted on the Bay State. Conservative media, knowingly or not,
helped in Obama’s reelection. Do they stand to gain financially from an Obama
second term? Rush, Levine and others who
push the conservative word will benefit handsomely by Romney’s election loss.
The President’s penchant to generate a new controversy daily is good for
business because it increases audience participation. A larger audience brings in
more advertising revenue. America lost on Election Day, yet paradoxically
conservative media won. Mark Davis, MD. www.healthnetsreviewservices.com
