1. Man that was depressing .........

..... true .... but depressing.

2. Simple

Quit listening and watching. Might as well get your news from the pentagon website.

Senator Durbin was working on a media message machine to get more Dems out there.

Write him and tell him it is much needed.

And email the media and tell them we know what they are. Won't change, it is the bosses that our under control of the Fueher.

So either boycott or quit bitching.

Because you have known what they are for the past five years. Or you haven't really been paying attention.

4. Did you even read the article? The whole point was that you can't

tell people to "quit listening and watching" that that is the absolute wrong thing to do.

The point of the article is the need for mainstream media outlets that are owned and operated by progressives.

5. HOw does that conflict with what the poster said?

STOP WATCHING THE GOP PROPAGANDA. TURN IT OFF. WHEN WE GET SOME FAIR REPORTING, START WATCHING AGAIN.

10. No wonder our side isnt' getting the message.

:eyes: The MSM is NOT going to give us fairness. We need our own echo chamber to counter the crap that the right wing echo chamber is putting out.

9. Exactly - we NEED the left investor groups to make MEDIA BUYS or no other

issue of ours will survive this decade. What good is putting dollars into ANY one issue when that issue, too, is subjected to the need for MEDIA EXPOSURE? EVERY issue relies on media exposure - EVERY. SINGLE. ONE.

3. We're in big trouble if this article is accurate. And I think it is. (nt)

6. I have been saying this for years.

Fix the media - just make it fair like it was until the eraly 90's - and the rest will take care of itself.

7. How do we make it "fair" at this time?

The GOP controls the government.

8. It is - he's one of the best investigative truthtellers in this country.

He knows exactly how they shut down the REAL reporters and journalists. He was blackballed in the 80s for his Newsweek reporting that helped uncover IranContra. Bush White House played hardball with Newsweek to get Parry shut down.
