NewsReal’s Chris Yogerst is currently blogging about Comedy Central’s satirical cartoon South Park. Chris’s focus: the show’s relationship with “Generation Y Conservatism,” an emerging ideological orientation among those born between 1980 and 1995 who are just beginning to emerge onto the political scene.
What is Generation Y Conservatism? There’s no clear answer yet. It’s up to those of us in Generation Y to define it. And we’re beginning that discussion here at NewsReal Blog. NRB features the writings of numerous Gen Y conservatives in addition to Yogerst: Tim and Alissa Birkel, Calvin Freiburger, Alex Knepper, Nichole Hungerford and editors Michael van der Galien and David Swindle. That Gen Y Conservatism has developed in the constant shadow of the cable news culture is another reason why NewsReal Blog is an appropriate venue to begin this discussion. Unlike previous generations, for as long as we’ve been politically aware the cable news matrix has played a role in shaping our understanding of the political landscape.
