From Atrios: Conservatives make their
Conservatives make their voices heard with a rising tide of hard-hitting student newspapers:
In an eight-hour session that bore little resemblance to a
traditional journalism class, the students were taught how to start
their own conservative newspapers and opinion journals. And how to pick
fights with lefty bogeymen on the faculty and in student government.
….
By the end of the day, the student journalists were fired up for
battle — determined not only to change the tenor of notoriously
liberal campus dialogues, but also, in the long run, to alter the basic
makeup of the nation’s professional news outlets.
“What do you want professors to feel when you call them up?” asked Owen Rounds, a former speechwriter for Rudolph Giuliani.
“Threatened,” replied Duncan Wilson, a tousle-haired 19-year-old from the University of North Carolina, Charlotte.
This is, well, pathetic. Fine if you want to set up conservative
newspapers, but bullying people? Come on. Well, that’s the conservative
way, I guess. Silence what you don’t like.
