Bernardi on battling the media Cory Bernardi on battling against a media that leans hard to the Left: Whether it be about climate change, illegal boats, the right to life or Islamic extremism, the media love to expose conservatives to derision and ridicule. I have often wondered why this is. Surely personal animus can't account for all of it. There are a few reporters whom I know to be left-leaning but still play a straight bat.

For others, truth is an inconvenience in their quest for a story to further their own agenda. He sounds like he thinks conservatives are losing, but really, Cory, it just feels that way. And if the Liberals are of the mood, much can be corrected. In the end, of course, realists and conservatives win most debates. But it's like the fall of communism: a lot of people get hurt in the meantime.
