The power of the media is in decline. MSNBC, CNN and others have had declining viewership year over year for many many years so much so that their financiers and investors are moving to find another formula that will stop them from going under.
You are living in a view bubble of many years back if you think the media is all powerful. Their influence is an illusion that they themselves create. Take for example CNN’s Candy Crowley. Watch here how Ted Cruz eviscerates her while keeping a class act composure:

Today it is not so important that some voters are low information as it is that non-voters are high information.
High information non-voters have been voting at the state level. They withhold their votes at the presidential level because they are disgusted with the liars and corrupt grifters that populate the ranks of presidential candidates. High information non-voters are a groundswell that is large and powerful in the power of Article V.
It is a fact that Romney lost because more than 6 million blue collar conservative voters shunned him because he is a liar. They are not low information, they are high information.
It is a fact that voters registered as Independent comprised 24% of the electorate in 2012 and by 2014 they comprised an astounding 42% of the electorate, a clear substantial majority of which are conservative. They are not low information, they are high information.
It is a fact that 66 of 99 state legislative bodies are controlled by conservatives who have decades of experience with the duplicity of the EPA, gun control initiatives, same-sex marriage advocates, progressive groups funded by Bloomberg, Soros and the like. These conservative state legislators are not low information, they are high information.
It is a fact that if one talks to a state legislator there will be high probability that the state legislator is smarter, more aware, more in tune that any federal counterpart.
It is a fact that liberal national reporters will not venture into the conservative flyover country because they are unable to establish any credibility there. They therefore consign themselves to the New York market and the East Coast echo chambers where they talk to themselves revealing shallowness, foolishness and stupidity. They look down on the farmer and rural folk as somehow lowly, unworldly, backwards and yet they miss completely that the grassroots are wise as serpents and are orders of magnitude more knowledgeable than ever imagined. Let the big mouth small brain downstate New Yorkers continue to underestimate the people of flyover country.
It is the conservative flyover country where the power of Article V is held. A small town in rural Wyoming is more powerful than all of New York City.
Article V is not an article of democracy, it is an article of federalism tied to preserving the Republic. Therefore, it matters not what the leftstream media or what the Oprah ilk are pushing. They are not able to penetrate flyover country. Forty million progressive low information voters prodded by Michele Obama or Hillary Clinton and cheered by the leftstream media can say whatever they want, it won’t matter to less than 70 conservative state delegates who will propose to amend the US Constitution to assert state power.
No media, no Obama, no Clinton, no CNN, no Soros, no Bloomberg, NO ONE will convince conservative state legislators to turn back away from doing what they are doing now that they have the numbers.
Take the following to your all-powerful ‘media’ who you tremble in front of and ask them how they are going to stop the following:
************************************************
AMENDMENT XXVIII
To redress the balance of powers between the federal government and the States and to restore effective suffrage of State Legislatures to Congress, the following amendment is proposed:
************************************************
Section 1.
A Senator in Congress shall be subject to recall by their respective state legislature or by voter referendum in their respective state.
Section 2.
Term limits for Senators in Congress shall be set by vote in their respective state legislatures but in no case shall be set less than twelve years nor more than eighteen years.
Section 3.
Upon a majority vote in three-fifths of state legislatures, specific federal statutes, federal court decisions and executive directives of any form shall be repealed and made void.
************************************************
No large progressive urban demographic can stop the above amendment. They can stop it in their state, but not in the 66 state bodies that are now controlled by conservatives. Soros has tried, and he has failed. Bloomberg has tried and he is failing as local people have woken up to the shysters paid by him to rope them along.
The kind of amendment illustrated above ends the gravy train of the District of Corruption. There will be a lot of McMansions for sale around the Beltway. Smart owners are heading for the exits now.
