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.
If such “high information voters” support an Article V convention, then why are they using a hammer to fix a Rolex than isn’t broken?
An Article V convention is only legitimately the tool for when the Constitution is inadequate to the conditions.
However that’s not the problem we face. The problem is the government is deliberately in disregard to the Constitution, but that’s not even really the problem either. It’s far more than that.
The real problem is that those directing our government are no longer our elected representatives. Let that soak in a bit.
Anyone still talking about “voters” and elections has missed implication of what is going on around us each and every day.
Then realize that nearly 100% of those Conservative high information voters have no recognition of how the government is supposed to be functioning, and even if thei did, their amendments do NOTHING at all to cause the government to function properly — Not a one of the proposed amendments.
If 66 of those 99 legislatures(is this like Obama’s 57 States?) are controlled by high information conservatives, then certainly only one of those 66 legislatures would find sufficient backbone and direction to nullify ObamaCare and prohibit federal incursion into the State, but none have done so.
What an Article V Convention does do is corrupt the Constitution, and serve to validate the corruption that will be ongoing and unamended, virtually all the causes unchanged. Those brilliant Conservatives that are supposedly going to be leading the Convention, and leading the States,have not even acted to fixed the States themselves, nor acted to nullify Obamacare!
There is no sort of “power” at all to Article V; it’s just a tool being abused for the wrong purpose, to the detriment of the Constitution. There is no power to the entirety of the Constitution. Where the power resides is with an enlightened and aware people, who then demand their liberty by forcing a government back into its box of enumerated powers.
This focus on Article V only shows the people are neither enlightened, nor aware, nor serious about reclaiming their liberty before it is too late.
“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.”
If we just vote in another… liberal, moderate, or conservative! If we just get control of … Congress, the Executive, or the Courts! If we just pass another… AMENDMENT! That will surely do it! Then they will all comply with the law because we have a shiny, new law! Yeah!
The truth is our Constitution was designed for a moral people; without a moral people it is no more than words on a page. No Amendment will change that. The government no longer follows the Constitution or any other laws. The congress intentionally abdicates their legislative powers to unelected agencies in order to completely bypass their mandated accountability to their citizens. The executive branch not only abdicates its executive powers; it now proudly announces its intent to ignore the laws of this country—up to and including making Treaties without Congressional approval. The Federal Courts have gone beyond mere legislating from the bench to outright advocacy of illegal actions by the administration and the Congress. Working in concert, the Federal Government has completely usurped the Constitution without a shot fired.
Yes, a few Congressmen and an occasional state may raise an issue, but eventually they all comply. The people have no voice. I love how “conservative state legislators,” who continue to feed at the Federal Trough and increase state powers at the expense of their constituents, remain “conservative” in your eyes. Freedom isn’t about sound bites and more so-called “conservative” legislation. It is about restraining the power of the leviathan regardless of the cost.
Tell me, oh high-information voter or non-voter, where has that happened? Which of the 66, or 666, legislatures will lead us to the shining city on the hill?
