Conservative Media

This is absolutely crazy. Scary-crazy.

I was doing an internet search when I encountered Conservapedia.com. It's modeled after Wikipedia, except that it embodies the world according to the Republican party. This is why it's a ".com," not an ".org," like Wikipedia. Obviously, it slants heavily to the right.

What I find scary about this is that someone made an entire online encyclodpedia that isn't a fair, unbiased source. This is a gay-bashing, bible-thumping, evolution-denying website that is modeled after a real website that works hard at being fair and accurate. (Ironically, Conservapedia's motto is "The Truthful Encyclopedia.") This really freaks me out, really and truthfully. Check it out and be aware. Or, if they agree with you, rejoice. I can't hold it against you if there's an entire website devoted to the world as you see it and you're happy about it.

A note of interest- I couldn't find anything like it for liberalism. Perhaps that's because, as they say, most media has a left slant anyway?

Note to the reader: I'm a constitionalist. It's one of the crosses between liberalism and conservatism.
