I blame the media and we are doomed if things do not change

[rainy]

We lost to the worst president in US history and the world knows it. It is "the media stupid" for sure. I agree with other posts we must become the media. Can we organize and start putting out flyers? If each of us puts out 100 flyers how many people would we reach? We should start with some facts and ask why it was not reported in the corporate media. Any ideas?

1. Media reports what pols do; if pols don't complain, there's no story

Very few candidates are asking for recounts or complaining, so there's nothing to report. Press the candidates. Do they really think they lost?

2. Step one: Turn that TV OFF

They're worse than useless. They're damaging anyone who watches them.

Step two: read and research

Step three: WRITE and get your stuff out on the net.

We can make those blowdried corporate bobbleheads completely irrelevant.

3. The media spent half as much time talking about ISSUES this year compared

to 2000 according to Media Tenor (29% vs 14% IIRC).

How can people make informed decisions about candidates when all they talk about is horse races and personalities?

And this goes for Democratic primary contestants as well as making a choice in the general election.
