Well, I don't know about independence, the attempt to be balanced gives you the likes of FOX, with the presence of obvious seething liberals and "independent overkill" obvious in the persona of the know-nothing, bloviating Ted Baxter.
a DEMAND for basic objectivity
Conservatives need to become proactive in getting the message out there, both in telling the truth, and calling out the RATagandists on their history of helping the "progressives" destroy the US.
The information is out there and available from the Washington Times, The Blaze, FOX NEWS, The Drudge Report and through foreign news sources who have no affinity for Kenyan packer.
The "balance" needs to present itself as a free speech opposition entity, countering the lying MSM with verifiable facts and exposing them on their unreported stories.
When people are sick to death of these long "slow news weeks" full of decoy stories (like the missing airliner and the racist basketball baron) they will tune in to the sources that are reporting something other than the same-ole same-ole.
Although the Republicans are accused of not fighting back, they have no viable method of getting the truth out there other than modern social media, and we need to be screaming at them that they need to be all over that...twitter, facebook etc.
I both agree and disagree with you.
I truly believe the social media angle and have my own plan using social media, maybe more later on that.
But I sure don’t buy this angle that the Republicans have no choice. We all on this thread watch the Sunday talk shows. Note the name of the thread.
How many times have we lamented about constantly seeing John McCain? Mumbles McConnell couldn’t carry an interview if he tried. Boehner’s either suntanning or drinking.
I believe, even using the conventional media, the Repubs could do a way better job with their message than they do.
Maybe send Trey Gowdy to Meet the Depressed, just throwing it out there.
But that bit about social media....spot on. Even Rush Limbaugh mentions that more people get their information from social media and I....The Wise I....use social media VERY effectively.
And comments threads like this.....people read commenters almost as often as essayists.
It’s what I was born to do.

Two faces of “REPUBLICAN” Fighting back
1. Positive - Ted Cruz with all of this Town hall meetings
2. The most common - Mitch McConell with his election year adds.
