Why is it that the rise of conservative media can only be explained by
liberals as a conspiracy? Conservative media is not some conspiracy.
It's a natural reaction/correction to the media situation that existed
in the US throughout the past thirty or so years. It's the market at
work. The only reason there is a rise in "conservative media" is
because a huge percentage of the population is unhappy with existing
media choices and wants an alternative opinion to that which they were
able to get from ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, the NY Times, The Washington Post,
etc., etc.

Maybe because the media's job is to question everything, and more often than not "conservative media outlets" do nothing but reprint government press releases. The "huge percentage of the population" has been convinced that questioning authority is bad.

Obvious Man to the rescue:
