We still need to take the fight to the media
I am tired of the BS and the negative spin on Obama's first days as a President.

We really need to start to bring it back to them.

1. Again, it is not "the media" who should be targeted, but the people who bring those
lies to the airwaves.

They are the only vulnerable weakness in the media monolith.

2. they tell you what they want you to know..
and people are more than willing to accept their version of current events...every single day whatever is said on the tv controls the national conversation. Perception management. They're really good, aren't they?

3. We need to consider this the 2012 campaign
We had a very strong effort during the presidential campaign, contacting these people and telling them what we think.

We need to consider this the 2012 campaign and keep the heat.

4. it's a constant state of reacting
a full time job, which people have no time..and rightfully so..to call up and complain. How do you know you're being lied to, unless you have information from somewhere else? They need to be irrelevant, but people make them relevant. They're not going to change unless they are forced to, and that can't happen until the conglomerates are busted up. Even if there were competition and other media outlets opened up, I bet people would still watch them.
