23. If the goal of a demonstration is to get airtime on MSM then it is doomed
Any strategy that involves using the enemy's propaganda machine to get our message out is going to fail by design.

Look at this clip of Palin in WI that ran on CBS -- can you hear the counter-protest? That's the MSM magic -- editting!

We got into the print story and the lead but that's about it. The CBS video is a story about Tea Party rallies nationwide. In WI the cops let us get right next to the TBs but that won't happen in other places. They will use corrals.

We can't make the MSM do ANYTHING. Can't make them stop showing TB rallies, can't make them tell the truth or show the wars or talk about global warming, can't keep Trump from looking stupid, can't get Buchanan, Hannity, Rush off the airwaves, can't get them to cover re-counts or wait until votes are counted before declaring the winner. They own the MSM so that THEY CAN do those things.
