Unless the media changes we are doomed
I fell into the trap set by the scum MSM when they distorted what Cindy Sheehan did at the SOTU, and I should have known better.

What was done to her was abusive and outragous!!!

3. I hope the internet becomes the media....also we may have to
go back to handing out news flyers on streetcorners and buying up billboards. There is also highway overpass signs and bumperstickers. I guess we have to get creative.

5. I have doubts about the media...
The media will continue to do what they're doing as long as they're bought and paid for. Unfortunately, I don't see Democrats or Progressives "buying back" the media; they simply don't have the kind of money that Conservatives and Fascists have to "sell their message."

The best we could hope for is to develop the internet(s) as truth and information conduits, and (more or less) forget about "taking back the media."

What needs to be done:
1) Americans need to "kill their TVs"
2) Americans need to turn to the internet(s) for their news and information

Right now there's an unbelievable number of willfully- and woefully-ignorant Americans. It'll take a while to change all that...

7. It all hinges on a Party change in 2006 and 2008. If there is a
party change, then legislation can and should be passed that will disallow the media from being a propaganda arm of either party.
