Conservative columnist Matt Lewis is warning in his new book that while the conservative movement has benefited from a surging conservative media, aspects of that media may be leading to a “dumbing down” of the movement.

In Too Dumb to Fail: How the GOP Betrayed the Reagan Revolution to Win Elections (and How It Can Reclaim Its Conservative Roots), Lewis says the rise of conservative media in recent decades has served as an invaluable corrective to liberal bias in the mainstream press. But he also says it’s acted as a “double-edged sword.”

“I think it’s a mixed bag,” Lewis told the Washington Examiner media desk. “Although I think that conservative media outlets help — they’ve helped expose liberal hypocrisy, forced stories into the mainstream — there’s also a downside.”
