The mainstream media constantly bemoans our “culture wars,” blaming them on conservatives, even though the conflicts usually are triggered by left-liberals trying radically to transform aspects of American life. In this thoughtful article, Erick Erickson turns the tables by denouncing “the press’s complicity in escalation” of these wars.

He writes:

If I could convey to my friends in the press one thing that I wish they’d accept, instead of denying culpability, it would be that for all the worries about Republicans escalating positions and actions, the press has a very large role in getting us to this point.
