This person's view is almost exclusively "New World" moderate and they would most likely find more in common with their liberal counterparts than with their own conservative base. On occasion, a single true conservative such as [[Bill Kristol]] finds employment with the mainstream media, but it never lasts because of their commitment to real [[conservative]] viewpoints. The [[liberal media]] demands that they hire their brand of conservative- that will attack conservatives. | + | The term '''token conservative''' describes the lip service paid by the mainstream, [[liberal media]] to so-called [[fairness]].
