Suggestions on how to break the GOP control of the media??
Obviously CNN, MSNBC, FOX, ABC, CBS, and NBC are just there to feed us whatever Karl Rove tells them to say or the republican strategist of the era. Unfortunately, obviously as well, most Americans get their news and coverage of events from these 6 outlets. So they are critically important. What do we do to break the control that the GOP has over them? That is the first step towards winning presidential elections again.

3. This is a critical issue.
Every election we start in a deep, deep hole, dug by the right wing propaganda machine.

4. Obama becoming President is the only thing that can do it
Once the corporate whores understand they have no choice but to get along with Democrats, they will cease promoting the GOP........ after some kicking, screaming, and tears.
