They need to get their message out and bypass the media. Also a training course on how to interact with the media and prepared talking points.

They are going to face a hostile media no matter what they do, but they shouldn't shut down media acccess to government.

The media just isn't that hard to outsmart.

True, but few conservatives are as skilled at press relations as Ronald Reagan. He was a skilled actor with an extensive resume as a public speaker, before he was ever elected to public office. Reagan also still benefited from the old dinosaurs that believed that they needed to at least up hold the appearance of impartiality, and that the story was more important than they were, something that is increasingly rare these days in the MSM.

Agreed. Their only real advantage is owning their own 'means of production'. Propaganda happens. I'm a firm believer that the government should own one unabashedly nationalist TV station so they are given an equal opportunity to demagogue any given issue with the leftists and subversives.
