Conservative Media: Success Or Failure?

Mike Stark beat me to it. Sure, conservative news media outlets are losing tons of money, but their owners aren’t in it to make money. Or perhaps more accurately, they’re not in it to make money off of conservative news media outlets.
Conservative news media’s raison d’etre is not to turn a profit, it’s to disseminate conservative propaganda and disinformation as widely and as forcefully as possible, in order to secure the most corporate-friendly government possible. The NY Post and Washington Times and Weekly Standard may look like they’re losing money, but when you look at the big picture, they’re really doing the exact opposite.
