Jack Furnari helps train citizen journalists to take on liberal media bias

The future of journalism in America lies with the “average Joe,” according to the Franklin Center for Government and Public Integrity, the organization determined to help prepare the public for this 21st century job.

A panel hosted by the Virginia-based organization offered some insights to the citizen journalists in training assembled in downtown Orlando on Saturday. Participating panelists included Sandi Gehring, a self-described “recovered” liberal media veteran-turned-consultant and author. Gehring offered an insider’s view of the world of mainstream media, having worked for outlets like CNN and The New York Times. Tom Tillison, founder of the tea party-centered online publication, Florida Political Press, and BizPac Review President Jack Furnari also had plenty to share about their roles in Florida’s political landscape.

This is what Breitbart was all about! This is how the war will be battled out. Some in the media are looking for stories. We just have to learn what they want and how to leak them!

How about an expose of black on white crime, illegal immigrant on American citizen crime, why we, as taxpayers are funding racist groups like La Raza,....

The leftist establishment MSM may have looked clever and agile around the Bushes & Bohners, but in reality its fat and slow.

They can be had. All that is required to defeat them is a little creativity and a refusal to be intimidated.

I have to admit the Romney team is doing a pretty good job of parrying the usual jabs from the leftist media. I'd like to see them start attacking.

Terrific post, T.O.K., and it’s good to see that things like this are being diner. Waving signs and demonstrating are fine, but journalism is the only real way to get the truth out. Things like this give us all hope.

Skeeter got his head on straight. The left’s hold on the MSM is tenuous and they know it. That’s why they are so thin skinned and utterly incapable of “criticism, self criticism” a la Chairman Mao.

We need to tap into our inner satirist and rake these air heads across their own petards. I’m a recovering Stalinist and I’m game as hell. Attack is the agenda. Use their own feel good, Mr. Nice Guy approach. The great leftist contradiction is that they claim to crave freedom, yet every step they take, every move they make, enslaves. Hit their contradictions. I see a lot of canny with and searing humor on this blog. The FR wisenheimers need to link up into brigade formation. Email me.
