but I think our bigger problem is media bias.

Well, who is supposed to be running this country, THE MEDIA or the CONGRESS ??? The media is a problem, but those responsible for running this country should be telling the media what they can do with their bias and get on with running the United States....I believe that is their job.
Congress might tell the media, but who will tell the people?
Congress is only a soapbox if the media reports on it. How many speeches does Ron Paul give? What about the old Golden Fleece awards Proxmire used to give? How often were those trumpeted?
The MSM still owns the agenda. It can only be influenced a little by the Congress. The web is the biggest threat to that ownership, but it's still only gonna work if a meme gets widespread.
