We’re will have to build an entire conservative alternative media from the ground up. Just like Breitbart did.

Real reporting on real news to establish credibility. Not opinions only - that stuff is a dime a dozen.

Yes and no. Yes in that we need forums to get our message out, but no in that rebuilding what exists (the msm) results in the MSM again. Just a matter of time.

The MSM model is headed toward extinction by it’s own hand. They did not adapt to a world with an internet in it. All their eggs are in one basket...the old model of ‘news’.

FR and many sites like the BIGS prove there is no need for that model and that in fact, it is a destructive model.

Side note on the opinion thing. At our paper, I worked with an old Ed that thought the AP was the Vatican. They could do no wrong and opinion was NEVER allowed in an AP story. We argued endlessly about it and he denied ever example I would show him on the feed.

The day we got the memo that henceforth, the AP was totally fine with combining opinion with hard news, it was like someone told him he was adopted and his adoptive parents killed his puppy with a sledgehammer.

He never got over it.
