Putin handles the “press” (the propaganda wing of the opposition intent on destroying you and your political ideology) by having the biggest pains in the ass shot dead when they answer their doorbells.
Highly effective, and they get the message quick.

Short of doing that, there is no way to control them.
What?...
No deep-pockets conservatives have the technological and monetary resources to challenge the leftwing media - for example with something like Beck’s GBTV, writ bigger, larger and appealing to a broader audience?
Why are we not counter-attacking in the PR war? Are we simply victims?
Must we always decide there’s nothing to be done?
(that question above about why are we not counter-attacking in this contest, was not intentionally rhetorical)
Beck has the right idea.
Television is an Oligopoly, with liberals holding the controls.
So go around them.
Someone like a Rush Limbaugh, working with say - a Free Republic, could move PR mountains.
Technology. Money. Determination. Audience.
So why isn’t it happening yet?
What exactly is our side waiting for? Permission??
