Why can't some wealthy Republicans get together and start up a few new media outlets? Open up some more 'fair & balanced' universities?
I think the problem with this is that once people get wealth, they like to start socializing with all the "right" sort of people. It is the "upper crust" that seems to be the root of our idiocy nowadays.
In the Book "Leftism Revisited" the Author asserts that every socialist movement in History was created, nurtured and financed by the wives and children of wealthy men.
Marx and Engles were both born with silver spoons in their mouths.
No, the problem is that extreme wealth and extreme poverty tend towards socialism. We should be thankful for the few exceptions, such as the Koch Brothers et al.
I think the first thing we should do about the media is to constantly denounce them as biased, and try to avoid products that finance them. Beyond that, people are making efforts to boost alternative media. (Glen Reynolds, Glen Beck) If we can expand the source of news material and entertainment, then eventually the competition will bring them down. Alternative Media is already hurting the newspaper industry, perhaps when it eventually kills Newspapers, next in line will be the New York/ Los Angeles networks\entertainment centers.
THIS.
And it's completely intentional on the part of the communist subversives who work tirelessly to overthrow our republican form of government.
By hook or by crook.

Bookmarked. Thanks.
Thanks for the ping.
Some will stay at home on November 6th. I am compelled to make my way to the voting polls.

Beck, Hillsdale and Eagle Forum.

The problem is that the cable companies won’t give them a chance. Current, yes. Right Network, no.
As more people drop their cable and move online or to Roku,
Same here, but with one caveat. If the GOP-e puts up an ineligible candidate (Rubio, Jindal, Haley et al), I will be foreced to vote 3rd Party. Just because the RATS are willing to crap on the Constitution doesn't mean Constitutionalists should be willing to go along with the GOP-e doing the same.
I am still wrestling with that problem.
THANKS FOR PUTTING THAT ALL UP AGAIN....

Do they even really know? I can just imagine the family gossip regarding Barak Sr.: "Doesn't look a thing like him. . ." & etc.

I know, right? So often these "Obama" life narrative threads, even the short-to-medium-length ones, have a real treasure trove of linked information resources provided. All thanks of course, to a list of researchers the length of which would put an Oscars shout out to shame.
Think Frank touched him? The guy was creepy.
