Progressives still haven't gotten the message that we need to find some way to get alternative (especially) radio into rural areas and even most cities. This idea the NPR is the alternative just doesn't cut it. There needs to be the likes of Randi Rhodes, Thom Hartmann or John Fuglsang available for Joe Six Pack to "see what the other side is saying."

It's hard to beat the power of money that they've managed to leverage into our society. The person who says, "Why don't the Democrats say this or tell the real story...." doesn't comprehend that they are saying this or that, but it's not being heard. Or is hard to find because it's not carried by the RW media or the corporate media that we think is the alternative to RW propaganda.
