David Frum on Conservatism - Dictionary of Arguments

Levitsky I 67
Conservatism/Frum/Levitsky/Ziblatt: The second main reason that reduced the power of traditional party guards was the explosive development of alternative media, especially news channels and social media.(1) >Political Parties/Levitsky/Ziblatt
.
Frum: This was especially true on the Republican side, where the emergence of Fox News as well as influential radio talk show hosts - what political commentator David Frum calls the "conservative entertainment complex"(2) - radicalized conservative voters, playing into the hands of candidates with radical positions(3). >Social Media/Levitsky/Ziblatt.
