Many of us, from Rush on down, have been wondering how to combat this media bias. Media ad buys may be a tactic to explore.

Pick an issue: Sandy Hook and guns. Run a reasonably financed national ad campaign briefly on the alphabets (and major cable ) Reinforce much less expensively thereafter on the internet. Make the point of the Mayan 14 as described in the article., and pointedly shiv the media at the same time for their biased coverage of the issue.

Make our point far and wide, and undermine the liberal media. Repeat as the budget crisis reaches decision time. Repeat when Republicans are accused of a war on women. Repeat Benghazi. Repeat debt ceiling. Repeat taxes.

Finance it with contributions from us and every soul fed up with the crap we've seen for 4 years; the Heritage Foundation type organizations, NRO, NRA, Weekly Standard, Newt's Solutions group, the RNC, Sherman Adelson types, Mitt Romney, Steve Wynn. Hot button issues would likely raise lots of cash .

A couple million bucks judicially spent could begun to raise the awareness of the low information voter, which, IMHO, is the goal. Prominent exposure would certainly ignite a media debate which we could then win armed with facts.

This is being tried. Notably Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer's campaign to educate Americans on Islam through the American Freedom Defense Initiative.

Costs money and aggravation, and I don't know if works. First the folks who are SUPPOSED to be selling them the adds oppose the ads, then try to put up countering ads. Also, liberals are great vandals and will destroy the ads where possible.
