Periodic Media Mention
A new school year, a new “College Conservatives!?” article. This time from Randi Powell in the Boston Globe:
DURING THE 1980s, Ronald Reagan ushered in a new era of American conservatism that few can forget. But I don’t remember one thing about it. Honestly, the first president who actually meant anything to me, besides being a fact in a book, was Bill Clinton. Like most of today’s college students who were born during the Reagan administration, I grew up with the liberalism of the 1990s. So it only makes sense that those liberal values and ideas are considered ”normal” for most of my generation…
Conservative student-run newspapers are becoming an alternative information source on campus. Even UC Berkeley, historically considered left wing, today has a prominent conservative student newspaper, The California Patriot, that was founded in 2000.
Note that our reference was sans-”glossy” for those of you playing along.
