No, I do understand. The people who don’t like an honest airing of reality will and do move heaven and earth to stop that from happening. Look at Fox of 2000 and Fox of today for an example of a semi-neutral outlet co-opted/destroyed by the Left. Today they ARE the left.

It is not defeatist to simply spell out the reality of life in these United States. I fully think it’s possible and wish it could/would happen.

But I have been down this road in reality, not theory. It takes lotsa’ $$$$$$ to make an impact. All the fact, truth, et all are nothing when no ears hear it and those that do, refuse to hear.

They refuse because they do not find credibility without money in enough numbers to swing elections.

As an experiment, look at the Global warming issue. Look at the groundswell websites filled with enough climatologists to make their own weather from scratch...and who does the gen pub believe?

The MSM

Why?

Because the Gen Pub refuses to believe actual scientists on some website when they are barraged 24/7 that we’re all gonna die and the Today show is credible while a hunderd/a thousand scientists who do this for a living...aren’t.

Am I mistaken? Again, it sucks, but I defy you to prove that wrong.

You still sound defeated.

Your examples leave a lot to be desired, and, when examined with closer scrutiny, neither one of those examples were failures. Fox is a big hit, even if it’s not a conservative news channel. My purpose is not to create a conservative site. It’s intended to be a neutral site, with the hope of having all sides heard, equally, with the spin and the lies and the facts.

Even the global warming “conspiracy” is not a winner for the other side, since they’ve been denied any big victory and “our” side has the facts and the science to support us, which is a much bigger factor to overcome.

But, I’ll go back to your attitude, which, if more people took that way of thinking, the U.S. would’ve been doomed from the beginning. In fact, and you may not like this, you sound like what the other side would be doing in trying to discourage people from doing anything which is destructive to their agenda.
