The Conservative Glass Ceiling

Written : Mar. 15 & 24, 2009

The conservative media is finally starting to make a little progress. While John Aravosis (see Americablog.com) recently said on CNN’s “Reliable Sources” that Sean Hannity is “irrelevant”, Hannity has already been mentioned this past year on several Sunday mainstream media talk shows, including many editions of George Stephanopolous’ show, “This Week”, on ABC. Hold the presses, Stephanopolous must have actually spoken with Hannity, at least once! Our new president empowered Sean by challenging him a couple of times when Barack Obama was but a mere mortal (when he was a candidate). Hannity made it into sentence number two (#2) in Newsweek’s cover story on Feb. 16, 2009! Liberals recently publicized Rush Limbaugh and his radio show. If you’re a liberal, please pay attention and listen (to Rush and Sean) carefully, calmly, and with an open mind.

Hugh Hewitt makes occasional appearances on CSPAN’s “Washington Journal”, Laura Ingraham fills in for Bill O’Reilly on FOX, Bill Bennett makes some of his stands on CNN. Wait; is that the former Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich whom I’ve seen on many of the faltering Sunday TV talk shows lately? Many mainstream demagogues even condescend to acknowledge Ann Coulter occasionally. It’s nowhere near equal yet, but things are definitely getting better for us.

Fellow conservatives, unlike it was in past years, Bill O’Reilly’s huge ratings and hefty book sales are getting him interviews on a multitude of mainstream media programs, such as “The View”. They still treat him like dirt, but at least he’s being noticed more often! Call out the cavalry; full steam ahead. At least we’re getting there. When the president’s “spend the USA into oblivion” plan falls apart later this year, we may pull even in “popular opinion” with the party whose logo is a donkey…
