2 reasons we will lose on Nov. 7: Right-wing radio and corporate-controlled media [View All]

[Francine Frensky]

As long as right-wing radio is allowed to spread lies and innuendo 24/7, we will keep losing elections. Period. It's a very simple formula for the republicans right now: say something half-true or flat-out dishonest, repeat, repeat, repeat, and just like that, they have brainwashed millions and millions of voter-robots and the dems have no chance. They have built an incredible network over the years. The fact that the Whitehouse called two dozen conservative commentators to a meeting yesterday and got them all pumped up should not be overlooked. That was a big play by Rove, and that combined with some complacency on our side thanks to over-confidence is going to flip the election outlook.

The simple fact is they reach more people with their spin than we reach with the truth, and the brainwashed masses can easily beat us.

I can't repeat this enough: until we take down talk radio, we will keep losing. And it's not about building our own radio stations: our goal should NOT be to copy-cat them and brain-wash millions of voters. Our focus should be on stopping the spin. Stop rush's lies. Stop hannity's spin.

I would love to see a lawsuit against these guys for their on-air lies. Those lies influence millions of voters and absolutely influence elections and the direction of our country. Which impacts all of us. Why is that not actionable?

It's all about '08 now. Let the repubs keep control and hang themselves further over the next two years; it will help us in '08 as they spin themselves further and further from the truth and even the middle 30% will soon see the gap.
