The "MSM" are just a group of media businesses. Liberals knew it was important to control the media so they put their money where there mouths were. Conservatives often think that profits are the only thing that is important in business and therefore have left it to the liberals to control the media. They are all businesses with a price on them. Anytime a wealthy conservative or group of conservatives want to pony up the money, they can take control of the media. Until they do, they should stop whining about the way other people control their businesses.
Why would they do that when the public has an appetite for negativity, junk celebrity, bashing of good political men/women? They will lose money.
It's time for conservatives to stop watching the junk which they claim to hate so much and think of the MSM as the enemy. If they ARE the enemy, good people need to fight the junk that spews out of their pie-holes day after day, combatting lies with truth. If enough of this force takes hold and the MSM goes more on the defensive, a hunger for more truth among the public will result.
Then conservative businesspeople might buy up more media because they can make money off wholesomeness and truth for a change.
It's a war. It needs to be considered as one.

So the question has been for some years now, “How do we deal with the liberal media and liberal groups and other liberal organizations?” I posit that the best way to deal with Lefty groups that endanger our liberty is the way we dealt with Right Wing groups that endangered liberty. The way Soutern Poverty killed the Klan comes to mind. First tie them to a real damage, the current economic meltdown offers an opportunity. Then take them to court and sue them into oblivion. Same with the media I suppose, sue ‘em for the damage they have done.

That was my point. Liberals control the media and get their message out. Conservatives can't be bothered because "They will lose money". Then the conservatives should enjoy their money and shut up.
Conservatives at the grassroots need to turn off Tom Brokaw and fight back. They need to take action to let their neighbors/friends know at ever turn the horrendous lies Big Brother is spouting.
As the ground softens, businesses will risk their dollars to encourage the move.
We all need to fight, not just the moneymen.
Yup. Liberals use this "sinkhole" to control the media and insure their message gets out and to help liberal candidates. I guess they see some value in this. BTW, most of the MSM are making a profit but maybe not as big as some conservatives would want. You make your choices and put your money down. Control of the media and therefore being able to get your political message out with less profit or not being able to get your political message out but more profit.
Free choice in a free economy. Make your choice and don't bitch about the choice others make.

There was no media in China in 1945.
While kinda true, that's a hard call! Sure they're students of Marx, like Obama, spewing the communist manifesto, daily. But aren't they all just rubes like the 'masses'? So it's really not the media but the seed it came from that needs 'straightening'...Academe, Education 'Associations' (NEA, StateEAs, etc), unions, publishers, etc. Until the 'seed' stops lying, the bean sprouts will continue to be filled with mush! A hard row to hoe!
Let’s get Mark to talk about this.

How about Obama openly campaigning for his communist cousin Odinga who signed a pact with Muslims to enact Sharia Law if elected and started riots when he lost. Obama campaigned for an openly Anti-American candidate in a foreign country in 2006.
