ANTIWAR

 In reviewing the two websites I found that The American Conservative website seems to be a true Republican leaning group, that happens to differ with the Republican party when it comes to overseas conflicts. They are interested it taking an "America first" position, and in their view a lot of overseas conflicts have nothing to do with what is best for America. Antiwar.com also disagrees with oversees conflicts, but seems geared towards both Republicans, Democrats, and Independents, who view these conflicts as a form of Imperialism. These two websites show that two different parties can advocate for the same thing. The media rarely presents different parties agreeing on something, which is why these websites are never mentioned on mainstream news. Mainstream news needs to attracts viewers in order to make money, so unfortunately, they often stereotype a certain party in order to attract viewers. In the case of military intervention, Republicans are usually portrayed as pro war. However, it is interesting that the Anitwar.com website was founded because of conflicts led by Bill Clinton, who was a Democrat president.
