But this isn't necessarily because reporters or media outlets are biased towards conservatives. For every Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity, there are dozens of reporters who don't have an ideological axe to grind, but whose work contains conservative misinformation anyway. ... 2. Stay informed. ... 3. Get active. ... 4. Be patient -– and be persistent. ... 5. Fight back in innovative ways."
