That said, the left isn't much better. I think that MSNBC would have been ecstatic if Romney won. My guess is their ratings would jump significantly. I have to imagine that there could be nothing better for the Becks/FOX of the world than an Obama presidency. It's hard to sell survival kits when your guy is in office.But one can hardly imagine ur-conservative media star William F. Buckley hawking gold or “gourmet quality” survivalist food kits, or showing up on the set of Dancing With the Stars. We live, after all, in the era of the “conservative entertainment complex.”
This is so true. Not to sound like an old geezer but there really was a time when the parties prominent media representatives were substantive. When the GOP proudly wore the moniker of the elite, well educated, monocle wearing fiscal conservatives. Now we are stuck with bible thumping, end of days snake oil salesman.
