A paper to point out the evils of liberalism

Megan McArdle:

Could There Be A Conservative LA Times?

Places like LA are in desperate need of a media to point out how liberalism is destroying California and producing high unemployment while chasing off jobs.  The argument is made that papers reflect their audience, but I think it is the reverse.  Without conservatives the media just reflects and makes excuses for the failure of liberal policies while being critical of conservative alternatives.  Wit conservative writers and editors the conservative point of view will bet a better presentation and people will start to appreciate it more.

McArdle talks briefly about Houston and has nice things to say about the Houston Chronicle.  The Chronicle is a middle of the road paper with it share of liberals.  What has made Houston avoid the evils of the liberal ghettos is its aggressive use of extraterritorial jurisdiction to keep from being hemmed in by conservative suburbs.  It stops incorporation in the suburbs and exurbs and when the neighborhoods mature it annexes them and grows the city outward.  It still has enough liberals to get Sheila Jackson Lee elected even though her district also encompasses River Oaks the most exclusive neighborhood in the city.

There are conservatives willing to write for papers, just as Fox showed there are conservatives willing to work on TV.  There are also conservatives willing to teach at universities if they can break through the barriers put in place by liberals.
