Guys, I'm thinking of starting a new group, about media,

[elleng]

including media effect on political and other public matters.

My point of view is that the media fails its responsibility to inform the public about significant public matters. We will discuss this and other matters as we work to develop a mission statement.

Please let me know what you think about this. An 'official' group requires 10 active participants. My proposal is at Propaganda Debunking Group.

Come over if you're interested.

Thanks

EllenG

1. ellen - this is something I am interested in -

but I will be honest. Not right at this moment.
I have put alot of energy into Biden's campaign....I need a break before I move on to my next cause.

3. pirhana, I understand;

I'll see how it goes, as I've gone from Wes to Joe non-stop!

Take your time, and stop by whenver. I'd like it to be a lot of chat, certainly at the beginning.

2. Interesting

This has been on my mind alot today...

I have given considerable thought to how to effect change here. It is a powerful tool used by highly influential people to justify their means. I for one am gawd-damned sick of it!! My mind has been whirling to try and come up with ideas. I've had the opportunity to see how forums can influence...I've seen what things like youtube can do...

I guess what I'm saying is....yes I would be interested...

4. I'm kind of like P, at this point I feel impotent -- like "what's the use?" but I'm

sure that's in large part due to my deep disappointment about Joe. There are so many things in this country that need to be "fixed" and I know I'll be revved up again before too long. :hi:

5. Hey, gateley!

Rest and rejuvenate, and come on over.

Impotent is a common feeling, so we'll have to address that, among other things.

6. If you do this, I bet you will get alot of Edwards supporters too.

Edwards is getting the shaft from the media now, and they are pissed.

Edwards is my least favorite candidate, but even I do like the media doing this to him.

on edit - just make sure you keep us up to date on what you do. This is important.

7. Sounds like an assignment for

Finnegan's Rangers, Media Brigade.
