RW talk radio, religious radio stations, conservative book imprints (which help put conservative commenters on mainstream shows as they promote their books), Sinclair Broadcasting (inserting partisan segments into local news), dozens of online "media" sites (which also provide an avenue for laundering RW talking points into the mainstream), a long, long tradition of email forwarding networks and "media activism" to counter "liberal bias", etc.
