We need ONE bumper sticker that's anti-corporate media!

[Gold Metal Flake]

One sticker that we can all put on. One sticker that will be in ALL of the states. One simple sticker. Remeber the RW "Rather Biased" stickers (and the OT but simple "Bill Lied" stickers)? We need that. One sticker that is simple but cutting that we can agree on and ALL use. Make it a nation-wide movement thing.

Again, I am at a loss for the perfect message. What should it be? Simplicity is key! Bold, easy to read even by a trucker behind a Passat.

1. GREAT IDEA!!!! I am so mad... I WANT TO GO AND STAND AT

THEIR DOOR AND SCREAM!!!!

2. Now we know what it's like for Hugo Chavez ALL THE TIME!

3. REFORM THE MEDIA

[Gold Metal Flake]

5. Thank you, but respectfully, rightards could co-opt that one.

I think it needs to relate the RW corporate bias. This would be a switch to what sheeple are used to thinking.

See, the bastards will have their convention, and these need to be out there. The people will see terrible negativity by Bushco against us, and with the stickers and F911 they may finally see the truth.

I'm not writing well. Can you grok what I'm meaning?

4. I have one on my car...

it simply says

DON'T TRUST CORPORATE MEDIA
Newsweek Time USA Today CNN FOX MSNBC ABC CBS NBC NPR RUSH:EIB

You get the gist

Here is a website with a few anti-corporate stickers, mine isn't listed. http://www.stickergiant.com/page/sg/PROD/vm17

[Elidor]

6. Yours probably comes from fair.org

I have a shirt that says the same thing.

[Gold Metal Flake]

7. OH! What does it look like??

Anyone have a pix?

On edit, I went to the FAIR webpage and looked at the swag but no sticker. I wonder if the phrase is not protected? Can a sticker maker chime in here?

Wouldn't it be great if the same sticker started appearing all over the country?

[Ladyhawk]

8. Here's one along those lines.

I like the saying, "Don't trust corporate media" better.

[Supply Side Jesus]

11. only if i had a digital camera....

i've seen it around colorado, not sure where they came from originally, but I picked mine up at a hardcore liberal store in Denver. cant remeber the name though.

[mopinko]

9. how bout

http://www.pinkobuttons.com/buttons.html?Democracy+6

i can make a bumpersticker out of any button.
if y'all come up with something good, i can have them in a couple of days.

[Gold Metal Flake]

10. Our problem is bigger than Faux.

It's encompases the networks and CNN and MSRNC. I think a more general message is better.

[mopinko]

12. agree

it's just something that i already had.

[Gold Metal Flake]

13. Well, Please check back. It's great that you are in the biz!

I have an idea, and will try to create it in a CAD program (no Photoshop chops).

[Gold Metal Flake]

14. Whatabout this?

[Lakerstan]

15. I sort of like this one...

17. "Give us back the media"

Bring the troops home.
Bring the jobs home.
Give us back the media.

Demand the Fairness Doctrine and Rule of Sevens are re-instated.
Demand a law (as opposed to just FCC's "policy") that prohibits media distortion.
Dissolve the media conglomerates, create public owned media.

18. "$$ Liberal Media ISN'T"

I'm trying, anyway. You are right that this is important.

[lostnfound]

19. A couple more suggestions..

(The word "corporate" could be written extra tall in the first two examples:)
CORPORATE MEDIA
CORPORATE LIES


or


CORPORATE MEDIA
CORPORATE PROPAGANDA

or

Corporate MEDIA
Creates Corporate GOVERNMENT

[Gold Metal Flake]

20. Mopinko rightfully noted that...

the Corporate Media theme could be coopted by the right. It's too vague.

The message must be short, direct, and be a clear indictment.

End Right Wing Media Bias is the message, but it is a bit long. Damn my brain that I can't think of something.

[lostnfound]

21. I read Mopinko's posts and don't see anything like that??

You correctly pointed out that 'Reform the media' could be coopted by the right -- I agree.
But 'corporate' IS the problem, isn't it? It's 'the money media'..more fluff to sell stuff.

TV: Just Corporate Fluff to Sell Stuff.

Some rightwingers think it's liberal just because it shows gay people, for example..or sex between unmarried people (which they pretend is something that only liberals do). On social issues the media can be considered somewhat balanced. It's on economic, political, and war issues that it is totally right wing. Which is all part of the corporate agenda?

27. How about "STOP BUYING IT"

It has a double message: Stop taking in the lies and stop supporting unethical corporations by refusing their products. I'm tryin'! :D

[Tight_rope]

22. Yes we do....I would buy one!

[tinanator]

24. DEMILITARIZE THE MEDIA

Youre welcome :P

[lostnfound]

25. That's a good one! nt

[tinanator]

29. thanks!

Im fairly proud of it :)

[genius]

26. Right: Something that tells it like it is

Perhaps: Informed people know the corporate media is Republican (right wing)

[Feanorcurufinwe]

28. BYPASS THE MEDIA: johnkerry.com

It helps us in the short term, and also spreads the meme that bypassing the media is the best way to find the truth. Post-election, you could just leave out the url, or put in whichever one you want.

30. Free your mind from right-wing media. nt

[kentuck]

31. The "L" word --- Liar

That's all.... Let 'em figure it out.

32. The Supreme Court Elected Bush, The People Will Elect John Kerry.

[KansDem]

33. "Irritate the Media: Vote for Hope"

I thought of this bumper sticker idea after John Edwards speech. It's reminiscent of the neoCon sticker that read "Irritate the Media: Vote GOP" a few years back...

[sadiesworld]

34. End RW Media Monopoly.

[juslikagrzly]

35. LIBERATE THE MEDIA

from the RW

[calimary]

36. "UNfair and UNbalanced"

That way, it could be used for ANY media person, ANY reporter, at ANY rally. Because unless they're Ron Reagan or they're from Air America, they likely will be.
