How to Win the Culture
In a sneak peek of his latest Election Hot Seat, usually reserved exclusively for PJTV members, Bill Whittle offers advice on how conservatives can take back the American culture. Dramatic changes won’t happen overnight, he warns, not with the Left in control of Hollywood, the media, the music industry, late-night television and other opinion-shaping outfits. But conservatives do have a wining message, so more people will come to embrace it if it can be presented to them.

Manufacturing the News
Just how easy is it to hoodwink the media? Ryan Holiday, author of the new book Trust Me I’m Lying: Confessions of a Media Manipulator, says it’s a lot easier than you think.
“I’ve manufactured controversies, done stunts, planted fake stories,” Holiday tells Reason.TV’s Tracy Oppenheimer. “There’s no question that I think it’s great that people have access to publishing in a way they have never had before, but there is the law of unintended consequences and what that’s done in this case is make misinformation a lot easier. We’ve embraced this new technology, but we haven’t erected any defenses, made any changes or changed how we consume the news, or believe what we read based on these changes.”

Mainstream Media: Kiss Off
Breaking up is hard to do. But the liberal Mainstream Media and all those Leftist dingbats in Hollywood have made it easier for conservatives to turn off their TVs and stop patronizing abusive media outlets.

Blow Up Your TV
Throw away your paper. Go to the country, build you a home.
Joe Dan Gorman echoes the “Spanish Pipedream” lyrics of John Prine in this edition of Intellectual Froglegs. We can’t control what liberals do, but we do have control over our own actions. And Joe Dan is all for flipping the bird to the TV networks and Hollywood bitchachos who paved the way for President Obama’s re-election through their biased coverage and campaign contributions. How best can conservatives influence these Leftist house organs? Don’t consume their products.

Election Hangover
Chuck Woolery says after “a night of binging on the news feeds, drinking in the commentary and stumbling around the contradictory polling numbers,” he’s nursing a post-election hangover. But he anticipates a fast recovery, so he can roll up his sleeves and return to the task at hand, “getting out the truth and holding our leaders accountable.”
