Even the DBM has had to acknowledge that the Internet is the source of most people’s news today and I think that is an appropriate outlet in the near term for whatever happens.

I could probably find the links that show that 20% of Americans are near illiterates, and the next 20% above them lack the ability to read and understand the news found on the Internet.

Honestly...Some means must be found for reaching this 40% of the population. I am at a loss on how to do that.

Every year the pro-lifers turn out **huge** crowds for their march on Washington, and every year it is ignored. Maybe they should march in New York and put those millions on the very doorsteps of the mainstream media.

It's actually far worse than that. In 1998, the Dallas Business Journal published an article citing ~45% of the population were illiterate and, of THAT number, ~45% were FUNCTIONALLY illiterate - meaning that they can read, but they are unable to comprehend or follow written instructions. And, as we know, things have NOT improved since 1998.
