STOP the GOP control of the media! How can we do this?

[Pryderi]

The Republicans are blitzing the media every day with little or no Democratic representation. Is there an effective way to pressure the MSM?

1. This topic comes up so frequently

There must be something we can do. It's all GOP all the time in the media, whether they're in the majority or the minority.

3. And it doesn't get them anywhere, except second place at the ballot box.

The more exposure the get, the more they lose.

9. The only REAL solution

Buy them and make changes.


How do you think there got to BE so many Conservative outlets? They bought them all up.


Now, on to the next problem...

10. Strange definition of control

some people seem to have. I always think the exact opposite when I'm listening, reading, or watching the media. From my perspective there's a huge imbalance in favor of the democratic side of things.

all corporate media owners' castles!!

It turned me off enough to move left.

16. Alter the Media

I do send out emails to that list. The way they tarnish everything President Obama does (ipods to the Queen, touching the Queen) - diminish the good news by stupid focus on stupid things, nothing but negative gossip.

So...type type type a line or two. Send it out. Easy as posting. Can't do any harm. Will help to 'vent,' your feelings.

BUT -- more significantly -- do actions, make events that have consequences. This goes beyond the idea of doing something that 'can't be ignored,' to the idea of doing something that has consequences, that effects events, that changes situitions: like voting is good example; makes no difference what media says so much as who gets elected.

Or legal actions.

Or Congressional investigations.

Or Constitutional powers given to people for Recall, Initiative & Referendum.
