Big-money conservatives need to invest in television broadcasting and news. I think Glenn Beck is going to try something like this. Fox has moved to the Left, and the MSM, MSNBC, and CNN are now Marxist front groups. I think a conservative television network, complete with courageous, crusading reporters (who don’t care if they’re invited to the latest Sally Quinn/Bradley Brie-and-Vin soiree’), and a free network presence, would change the minds of low-information voters.
“...complete with courageous, crusading reporters...”
That's a great idea. Except for the fact that conservatives seldom thing to become journalists - who wants to go become part of the Beast? - and most schools that provide journalism credentials are controlled by the left.
We need to re-take the more basic institutions of our culture, the premier of these being our educational institutions.

He's already got something going. The Blaze TV . It has his show plus The Real News with a cast of younger people discussing the day's news, and several other good shows.
He wants to expand- Give the MSM a run for their money, but it takes finances to get it off the ground, and keep it rolling.
I urge all Freeper's (and especially any Big money Repubs) to read the article here- It's spot on- then go to Glenn Beck's site and sign up for the 14 day free trial. See for yourself what he's up to- It's free- Then please back him him up in what he's trying to do.
He's got the plans, and the ability to get them going. He just needs the support to make it happen. What he's trying to build is exactly what we need now.
We have GOT to get caught up in these areas. It's cost us sooo much to not understand the effects of the MSM and how they operate in our society.
As for the election disaster- IMHO Mitt Romney lost to Big Bird.
The minute he made that statement about not funding Sesame Street at the debate- I knew the MSM was going to take it and run with it. It played into every negative stereotype of our side there is i.e.-mean spirited, cold, greedy ,against-the-children.
If Mitt and his team , had taken the time to understand how the MSM plays this game- in election after election- he would have never given them that advantage.
Still, he might have been able to salvage it, if he had used it to illustrate our cause i.e. -by explaining how much the Sesame Street people make (guy who plays Big Bird gets BIG buks), how much they make in merchandising and so on.. and then tie it to , a small business trying to pay its taxes.
Say that the business has to lay off workers to pay its taxes, in order to give Sesame Street money they don't really need.
Make the point that this is totally unfair to the laid off workers, so, asking Sesame Street to pay for itself is NOT an example of repubs " being mean to BIG BIRD".
( And it would shock most people to know how much they -Sesame Street- do get=big $$$$$$$ on top of the government money.)
He could have used it to MAKE PEOPLE THINK about what each of the parties REALLY stands for and what happens when you give them power i.e.Free Stuff" IS NOT FREE.
(Now we get to learn this lesson the hard way.)
Mitt could also have pointed out the bias of the MSM- how they play on people's emotions -and they do NOT show both sides. (They never WILL either.)
And he said little to nothing about Obama's so called health plan. Not one Republican was for it. They didn't even read it before passing it, and its a total financial and medical nightmare.
He should have been reminding people every day-in detail- about all the things that got the Tea Party started in the first place-the death panels , massive debt, and all the other horrors we had forgotten about (but now will sadly, be subjected to). Little was said about it. Now our health system-the best in the world- is in ruins. Tragic
(I don't even want to say anything about the wide spread voter fraud-been saying it for over 10 years -the repubs have done little to nothing. If they don't fix it- they might as well go home now and wait for the overlord's to tell us all what to do.-uGHHHH!!!).
It's too late for now, but maybe, if there's anything left of this country, after 4 more years of Marxism , maybe the Pubs will grow a spine, and figure out how to win.
God help us.
