becoming a conservative author
Bennet Kelley has a great piece at HuffPo about how to become a conservative author in eight easy steps. The fourth rule, “Reagan = Good, Clinton = Bad,” is the best example of conservative pundits’ historical revisionism:
Always remember that anything good happened because of Reagan and anything bad happened because of the Clintons -- no exceptions. For example, Reagan brought us "Morning in America" but is never responsible for the huge deficits of the 1980s that lead to the 1987 stock market crash (which either were immaculately conceived or the result of the big-spending Democratic Congress). At the same time, Clinton is as a "tax-and-spend liberal" for eliminating the deficits he inherited from Reagan and the elder Bush, but the economic boom that followed was solely the result of Reagan's policies and a Republican Congress.
You will notice, of course, the absence of such mundane tasks as research and fact-checking from Kelley’s list: best-selling conservative authors have demonstrated that, for a large segment of their audience, such things are unnecessary.
