Reagan COMPLETELY circumnavigated the MSM in his day by talking directly to the people.
Unfortunately, that takes SPECIAL LEADERSHIP qualities which there is a TOTAL ABSENCE of at this point.

That was in the days when the Media’s bias was only in front of the camera. Now, it is behind it at the highest levels. The powers that be decide that they simply won’t cover anything that does not fit their agenda. If today Reagan were President and he wanted to make a speech addressing the fiscal cliff, the media would ensure that no network carried it.
It is very frustrating. As the MSM loses more power in the traditional news market, and it is losing power, it becomes more shrill and corrupt. Right now, the rate at which it is corrupt is outstripping the rate at which it is losing power. In other words, peopole might not watch as much network news anymore but to the extent they do, they are getting not biased news, but outright propaganda worthy of a dictatorship.
