JACKIE CALMES HAS A PIECE FOR HARVARD’S SHORENSTEIN CENTER ARGUING THAT CONSERVATIVE MEDIA DRAG THE REPUBLICAN PARTY TO THE RIGHT. This may be true, but it’s dwarfed by the extent to which the rest of media drag the entire nation to the left. As Prof. Tim Groseclose noted in his Left Turn: How Liberal Media Bias Distorts the American Mind, without media bias America as a whole would have the politics of Texas or Tennessee. That’s why I keep telling GOP donors that they need to occupy the media space — not just the conservative media space — to win. Otherwise it’s like fighting a battle without air superiority.
