(23,867 posts)We simply are not represented in the media, and this is a huge disadvantage, at best.
When the Fairness Doctrine was repealed, it was by design, and our playing field became less fair.
I see no alternative to our situation other than to create a major media platform from which the true left can be heard. One which will also educate those who are moderate to conservative, in order to keep them aligned with the party.
I fear that we're literally locked out from accomplishing this. The situation is so entrenched, we may be forever out in the cold, looking in at someone else's party.
We don't really have good communication, in this sense. And this is much of what is leading us into such close races.
Edit- In fact, it even goes further than party politics per se: Both climate scientists, and groups like the MAHB at Stanford university, headed by Dr. Paul Ehrlich, have admitted to pleading with the media for air time, only to be rejected. We literally face global instability over this lack of representation in the media.
