Pap Attack: Right Wing Media Machine Created A Monster; Let Trump Rip The Party Apart

[GoLeft TV]

A few years ago, conservative talkers dominated the media – about 90% of all talkers on both radio and TV had a conservative slant. Thanks to social media, progressive websites, and Free Speech TV and RT, that imbalance has shifted slightly, but conservatives are still the dominant voices on the air today.

This dominance is mainly due to the fact that most conservative voters actually yearn for authoritarianism and prefer to be told how to think and feel. Psychological studies abound that detail the inner workings of the conservative brain, and it almost always come back to the fact that they need to be given their marching orders because they aren’t independent thinkers. That’s why the media is oversaturated with conservative talkers.

And that’s also why its so much fun to watch the conservative media tear itself apart during this election cycle. Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, and the freaks over at Fox News have been pushing the Republican Party further and further to the right, and now their ugly personalities have personified themselves in Donald Trump. And rather than trying to distance themselves and come across as the sane choice for the GOP, the other Republican presidential candidates are now having to jump on the Donald Trump / Conservative media crazy train in order to stay relevant.
