New News is Good News for North Carolina

Judson Cox, a nationally carried political op-ed columnist and President of the Foundation for Conservative American Values, is fed up. "North Carolina's greatest challenge," he says, "is our press. NC has 110 newspapers, and all but a handful serve as the propaganda wing of the Democratic Party. The Raleigh News and Observer was founded by a Democrat, funded by the Democratic Party for the expressed goal of getting Democrats elected. They have been very successful over the last 200 or so years. The "N&O" dictates what news will and will not be covered in the NC press. They cover up for corrupt liberals, and they lie about Republicans. Republican candidates must run not only against their Democratic rivals, but against the press - this must stop."

(PRWEB) September 30, 2004 -- Judson Cox, a nationally carried political op-ed columnist and President of the Foundation for Conservative American Values, is fed up.

"North Carolina's greatest challenge," he says, "is our press. NC has 110 newspapers, and all but a handful serve as the propaganda wing of the Democratic Party. The Raleigh News and Observer was founded by a Democrat, funded by the Democratic Party for the expressed goal of getting Democrats elected. They have been very successful over the last 200 or so years. The "N&O" dictates what news will and will not be covered in the NC press. They cover up for corrupt liberals, and they lie about Republicans. Republican candidates must run not only against their Democratic rivals, but against the press - this must stop."

Cox, along with a group of concerned North Carolinians are taking action. They believe that the only way to save North Carolina is to start a conservative publication with state-wide distribution. The first issue of The North Carolina Conservative will go to press October 15th of this year.

Judson Cox will serve as the Editor in Chief of The North Carolina Conservative. He promises a newspaper that will be filled with hard political news and analysis, mixed with humor and a laid back, southern style. The North Carolina Conservative has reporters already embedded in the Legislature, and some of the best columnists in (and out of) the state. "We have many big names on board," says Cox, whose own readership is in excess of four million. "We will have some of my favorite columnists, and some of my heroes. We have an incredible mailing list of committed, conservative Republicans, compiled with the help of nearly every conservative group in NC. With the first issue, we're set to become the most widely read, largest circulation publication in the state!"

The North Carolina Conservative will set the tone for news coverage, and will also see to it that Republican candidates get a fair shot. When asked why he chose to start a newspaper as opposed to a political non-profit, Cox answered, "The press is the only industry protected by the constitution. Both 501(c)(3)s and 527s are hamstrung by the campaign finance and IRS laws that limit their effectiveness. In this time of war, it is vitally important that we elect strong leaders who will protect our nation and strengthen our economy. With a terrorist enemy that seeks to attack us anywhere we show weakness, it has never been more important that we elect the right people at every level of government, as it is now. For that to happen, the people must know the truth."

"Start up costs for The North Carolina Conservative will be substantial," Cox says, "but with advertisers and subscribers signing up every day, the paper will pay for itself after the first issue." Cox is asking all conservative North Carolinians who wish to make a difference in their state to donate to The North Carolina Conservative and buy advance subscriptions. "By helping us get off the ground, we can turn the tide against the liberals. We can make sure that North Carolina's elected officials reflect our electorate - overwhelmingly conservative Republican. This publication is not tax exempt, so contributions are not tax deductible. This means that you can contribute as much as you wish - no limit. However, we appreciate your donation of any amount. Each dollar you contribute is a blow against the Democratic Party machine."

One year subscriptions (12 issues) will cost $40, but donations of any amount are encouraged. Those who wish to support this initiative can send a check to:
