Maybe we have the wrong approach to the Media
Maybe we should be doing the exact opposite of what we are doing. Instead of requestiong them to cover stories we should be writing them and patting them on the back for how well they are doing in covering up the stories. Praise them at how well they are doing in being accomplices to Crimes. Hey they are doing a very good job of not being a news source so we should compliment them. Sometimes compliments have a way of influencing people while insults do not. They need to be assured that they are doing a very good job and they really are doing a very good job. Hell without foreign news sources we would not know much at all. So everyone give them a huge pat on the back for being the very best avoiders of news that there is. :+

1. I think
reverse psychology can be far more effective than confrontation.

Good thinking.

2. they no longer a factor
the media is fulla crap and the consumer knows it (many like it and even more just go along, but no one denies it)....regaining power over the machinery of politics now must contend with the overt admitted criminality of the guys holding the power....
the mediawhores are way behind the curve...like a bushevik pig once said to the newsmedia, to paraphrase, 'we act, and you can only talk about it afterwards'
