Personally I believe Conservatives and Conservative views have no hope unless we get more control of the Media. If we could somehow buy a majority share of ABC NBC or CBS and present programing that contradicts what is being voiced on other stations then we can begin an honest debate.

I live in Virginia and helplessly watched a very good Senator be destroyed by the press and replaced by the village idiot so I truly believe we will get no where unless we begin a revolution against the press

The press is one of our greatest institutions (granted it has not lived up to that recently) but the solution is to get them on our side - to win the battle of information and ideas. The mind set of destroying what we don't like will not get it done. The battle is to win them to our side. What is our side? Truth, freedom, courage, results, etc.

...unless we get more control of the Media.

There have been opportunities for conservatives to purchase TV Networks. No one has been willing to come up with the money

It seems the only remaining option is to try to take their FCC licenses away for the obvious reason that they are using the free public airways to engage in egregious partisan politics. One, and perhaps the only, way to accomplish this is to show up en masse at the periodic FCC license renewal hearings of ABC, CBS and NBC.

Where is Brent Bozell of The Media Research Center,"the largest media watchdog organization in America. ..."? He and other so called media activists should be suggesting and organizing these protest activities.

Perhaps it's not in their best interests to solve the problem.

Yeah, and you can thank a few FReepers from VA who admitted to voting for the village idiot. Guess we have our share of idiots here at FR who are only "conservatives" when everything is going their way, but when it's not they jump ship.

I hear you. But money will not be enough to gain control of the old media..

It's time, in my opinion, to understand that there are forces in this country and in this world that consciously are bringing America down, socializing the country. They cannot be bought.

To me it seems impossible to change things as you wish, unless this is more like the old fashioned revolution that you do not really covet.

Oh well.

****

The socialist/Marxist/liberal media is the most destructive, relentless, and ruthless enemy of this Republic.

destroyed by the press

That's the problem!!!

Suppose that members of the press were subject to fines and jailtime for reporting lies, half truths, and deceit rather than being protected by 'freedom of the press'? How different would this country be if the press didn't have any affect on what people thought?????

Some didn't vote for GW Bush because Dan Rather convinced them with falsified records that GW was AWOL decades ago? Yet Dan Rather enjoys his retirement from his living room rather than behind bars.......
