Cómo se dice, "Money talks"?

Some years ago, Glenn Reynolds proposed that the Koch brothers–major funders of conservative politicians and causes at that time–should, instead of supporting politicians, buy up all of the women’s magazines and tilt them to the right. That was a great idea. It would have had a lot more impact than pouring more millions into the coffers of GOP consultants.

The Left doesn’t have to buy up newspapers or magazines because it already controls virtually all of them. But give them credit, liberals do understand where real power comes from. Thus, we see this headline: Radio stars criticize George Soros-backed move to ‘silence conservative Hispanic voices’. The Left is concerned about Hispanics’ swing toward conservatism, so they are doing something about it. …

Let’s hope this foray by the Left into radio won’t fare any better than it did in the Air America days. But the fundamental point is that election campaigns should not be top priority. Control the culture, and the elections will take care of themselves. And, in that regard, the women’s magazines still would be a good place to start.
