American Spectator -- Ned Ryun -- June
2012
In
Wisconsin, the nation saw the power of the professional left on full display
last year when throngs protested in the state capitol against the conservative
budget reforms proposed by Gov. Scott Walker. Years of work at the state level
in Wisconsin, the birthplace of modern progressivism, gave the left and its
media allies a sense that they were entitled to a nearly unchallenged dominance
of the political scene. Some things were taboo and no conservative had dare
tamper with those issues, they thought.
Through every step of the legislative and subsequent
recall election fights launched by the left, Media Trackers researchers pored
over innumerable IRS filings, strategy memos, social media pages, campaign
finance records, and websites; they connected the dots and built a comprehensive
picture of the agenda and funding behind the left’s
machine.
When
labor unions and the left began to lose, and then turned to the courts, Media
Trackers foiled the credibility of the attempt.
FOR
ITS WORK IN 2011, a Wisconsin-based Democratic consultant speaking at a
gathering in Chicago complained that Media Trackers kept the left constantly and
consistently off message. Even a political columnist at the Milwaukee
Journal Sentineladmitted that Media Trackers had become an influential
force on the state political scene.
The best part is that due to
its success in Wisconsin , in 2012 Media
Trackers is expanding into Ohio , Florida , Colorado , and
Montana , which will seek to replicate its
success in Wisconsin . For too long the right in
America has been on the defensive,
forced to react to attacks instead playing offense. But with Media Trackers now
on the scene, the rules have changed, and conservatives no longer have to just
sit there and take it on the chin.
Now they
can punch back.Northwoods Patriots - Standing up for Faith, Family, Country - northwoodspatriotscomm@gmail.com
