The ultimate media truth
Nobody gets rich touting the interests of the poor and middle class.
Conversely, there's plenty of big bucks to be made for defending the interests of the rich and powerful. There's so much right-wing cash spread around in this regard even the fringiest of the fringe can make a living. Even prospective college kids are on the payroll in a type of GOP farm-club system.
Liberals/progressives have no comparable infrastructure. We are truly amateurs.
As a result, what was considered kook-right stuff 20 years ago is now considered "mainstream."
