1. The best way to do that is
1. Not watch them on T.V.
2. Avoid advertisers on FOX

2. A media insurgency is necissary to take back America.
This site is one of the battle fronts, but popular media must be overtaken as well.

F9/11 is a start. Re-regulation and breaking up the corporate globalist media trusts should be the first item on the agenda 1/21/05.

3. The so-called Media is not that - its the PROPAGANDA Machine of the
Politicians and especially Corporate America....

I think that we really do need to revolt against what is happening and start pressuring now, but make sure when Kerry/Edwards are leading our country and we have taken back Congress, that the FCC and other lawmaking "systems" for the people reverse the trend that opened the floodgates for this "Political & Corporate" Takeover of the Free Press....

It's unreal to me what is happening here in our country....almost like Soviet Russia or any other state controlled media....

Every Journalism student/major in Universities should be taught that they aren't to become media whores and celebrities but committed to reporting and checking the truth, not distorting it...

CABLE WAR: FOX NEWS VOWS TOP FIGHT BACK AGAINST RIVALS WHO TOUT DOCUMENTARY

**Exclusive**

A new documentary claiming to show Republican bias at FOX NEWS will debut in New York City on Monday. But FOX NEWS executives are preparing to hit back hard -- if rivals self-servingly hype the film!

The DRUDGE REPORT has learned that FOX NEWS executives are lining up a parade of employees who formerly worked at CNN & MSNBC and have been downloading information on how editorial decisions are made at these networks, including the agenda for how stories are supposed to be covered.

A senior FOX NEWS executive tells DRUDGE: "We have enough ammunition to nail both MSNBC & CNN." Sources say FOX is prepared to go public with these accounts if necessary.

6. Start with pacifica radio--change it to hardcore leftwing talk radio!
Pacifica radio is a nonprofit foundation organized so that members can vote on board members who decide the programming. Donate 25 bucks or 3 hours of time to be a member.

THey have several stations in large metro areas nationwaide. We Leftists/liberals should band together to move all their stations to hardcore liberal leftist talk radio--basically the same format as Limbaugh/Savage et al, except coming from the left, advocating social economic reforms (increasing taxes on the rich, media reforms, strenghtening the social safety net, etc).

We could do this, people.
