Having not had the chance to read Andy Ferguson’s piece yet, the answer seems clearly both, right? Is there really any question? Both serve a good and useful purpose. If you’re conservative, I think every new successful media is a boon to the movement. That’s not a defense of everyone who calls himself or claims to be a conservative, but watching the dynamics of it as I tend to–it’s all working together, complementing each other–the magazines, the radio shows, the books, the blogs. Some of it my cousin Pete would never pay attention to, but others of it he will completely enjoy and absorb. Often the same ideas. Sometimes verbatim. Other times more entertaining. So the gospel spreads. In the hands of a good guy like a Rush or Hannity or Levin, that’s a blessing.
