2nd piece. Ann Coulter can sure write, can't she?
I keep getting crazy thoughts, like why can't we have our own mini-network, or mini studio for TV and movies so we can impact the sheeple like the socialists do? Yeah, I know, not economically viable, not practical, just dreaming... yadda, yadda, yadda.
Actually, though, why not, really?
We have the talent, some write, some can make movies (like JPFO) and don't underestimate humor. There are some very funny people on this forum alone. There's a reason why laughing at the King is outlawed, you know." by matis
I think the answer to your question is, at least IMO, that people don't read much anymore.
What I mean is, the ultra left liberals seem to have film and tv angle sewed up pretty tight. And we all know how the news media works. That leaves us with the written word, and, as I said, folks just don'r read as much as they used to.
The left understands people better than the right. They understood, long ago, the impact things like fim and tv would have on people. They understood that most people live in a very small world, to put it simply - most folks don't know a lot about a lot of things. People today get there "knowledge" of things, outside their normal world, from movies and tv. Why do you think so many movies and tv shows are "anti gun" and pro "social pity"? It's because the left knows, as people grow older, the things they've seen there will be the things they believe are fact. Look at the young folks of today, most believe "something" we know to be not true, just because they "saw" it somewhere. They believe in "rights" that never were, they believe they are "due" things they aren't, and they think conservatives believe in things they don't. They believe all people are created equal from birth until death, instead of that all people are created equal and then it's up to them to make the most of it in life. Most, not all, believe the government, or "somebody" owes them not just a chance, not just a life, but a certain "lifestyle". And that EVERYONE is "owed" that lifestyle, not just the ones who earn it.
All this because they have "seen" it to be true, for many years. If a teacher "teaches" it, if a movie star "acts" it, if a tv star "preaches" it, if a rap singer "raps" it and if a rock singer "sings" it, then it all must be true. All we can do is write about it. We can "communicate" the things we believe in, and stand for, by the written word or by word of mouth.
Just kind of hard to do these days.
