“Start knocking teeth out for every lie and they just *might* re-think spewing bullshit.”

While it might feel good to do that, violence is the path to losing. You simply can’t intimidate your way to a conservative victory. Also, conservatism IS civilization. Liberalism is chaos, violence and intimidation. If you imitate the enemy you are no better than he. The path to winning is by taking away the MSM’s money. If, for example, there was a real news organization that offered real news, that organization would corner the market and therefore the advertisers and therefore the money.

To some extent the bloggers are becoming that news organization. But they haven’t developed into a news market with advertisers. On the good side, the MSM appears to be dying under its own weight. Each day brings more layoffs at major papers. That isn’t being driven entirely by the internet and alternative markets. It is largely because the consumers recognize they’re being fed propaganda. The consumers don’t like the steady diet of lies and have stopped buying the service.

Glad to see a voice of reason here. It's tempting to sit back and lob huge grenades at the RNC,I've done it myself, and the pubbie party.ITs a lot tougher to do something about it.

We need to take responsibility as card carrying members of the New Media get off our asses and do shit.

Also, conservatism IS civilization. Liberalism is chaos, violence and intimidation. If you imitate the enemy you are no better than he. The path to winning is by taking away the MSM’s money. Brilliant stuff here. We need an overall plan to take down the msm/DBM/ dnc and the socialists dems. Shooting at our own guys is not the plan.

To some extent, my foot. What I don’t get from Freep and other conservative sites, I don’t get. How can I believe a word that members of the Journolist have to say? Once upon a time there were courses in J school in investigative reporting and in media law and ethics. It would serve the “media stars” right if General Petraeus would bring down the forked tongue in the White House.
