Flame » in reply to So how many conservatives do you think subscribe.

You didn't read past the introduction, did you?

It's only the intro that's completely negative. The rest of the article looks like a mishmash of Fox News' own PR with the occasional snarky comment from a disillusioned religious extremist.

Most of it reads like this:

A recent comprehensive study by UCLA political scientist Tim Groseclose and University of Missouri-Columbia economics professor Jeffrey Milyo found Brit Hume's Special Report — Fox's most straightforward news show — more centrist than any of the three major networks' evening newscasts, all of which are liberal. [8] The program is a model of smart news television.


The whole article is like that, just like Fox News: Endless whining about reality's liberal bias. There is barely a photon of daylight between conservapedia and Fox News.

I know it seems like there's nothing but endless wingnut-bashing these days. But I think in a roundabout way ER, for example, is drawing attention to the social conditions in America that have provided fertile ground for the rise of extreme demagogues like...well, all of them, Katie, drafting in Trump's wake.

You may wish you could disavow the embarrassing segments of your base, but you don't have the power or, honestly, the right. That's the mistake the Party establishment has been making for decades, and that's one of the chickens coming in for a landing now.

The GOP has ridden to power on the backs of people like those who read and write conservapedia. It's awfully shabby to try to throw them under the bus now that they're inconvenient.
