It would be interesting to tie in right wing media into this blog post. The earliest that I remember was in Los Angeles with George Putnam and the news. He was conservative as could be. I was shocked to find out that he was actually a Democrat by registration. Then came Rush and Fox. I am sure that other early ones existed. John Birch Society etc. I would say that Nixon was the roll over to conservatism. Then Carter the other way. And then Reagan. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Putnam_(newsman)
