Welcome to the Eric Erickson Show podcast, Hour 3.

Hello, America.

It's the third hour of the program.

It is Eric Erickson here across the nation.

The phone number is 877-97-9-7-3-7-4725 if you want to be on the program.

I got an email from a buddy mine.

Now, this is dangerous because it will, so I got to tread carefully in how I deal with this

because it will incentivize.

He doesn't understand. He doesn't appreciate.

It will incentivize a level of harassment he has never seen if I am not careful to avoid

identified him. I one time mentioned a friend of mine on this radio program. And to this day,

he sometimes says he regrets knowing me because of the number of people who now reach out to him and ask him to feed me information.

But a friend of mine made a good point that when I talk about the media and the press, I should point out that one of the most conservative areas of the press are local newspapers.

I'm not talking about the regional papers like the Atlanta Journal Constitution or even the McClatchie-owned Macon-Macon

Telegraph or the Charlotte newspaper or the Austin, Texas newspaper.

But, you know, a lot of counties in states have newspapers.

And those tend to be very plugged into the local level and tend to be fairly conservative.

Their editorialists tend to be fairly conservative.

There's a great one near me that I subscribe to, and it's a once a week newspaper,

and it primarily covers its county, and it has been relentless in exposing a woke takeover of its local school board, among other things.

And those are necessary outlets.

And frankly, if you are a conservative, those are the sorts of press operations you should be subscribing to.
