It is very difficult. President Trump showed the Media they have to censor everyone else in order to maintain their power.
It is in direct contradiction to the Constitution, and all America was founded to maintain.
It has been a long process, starting 100 years ago with the "Progressives" who actively worked to dismantle the Constitution and its checks and balances.
Then, 50 years and a few ago, the "Progressive" structures were taken over by leftists who did not even feel any allegiance to the United States.
Now, a majority of the population no longer trust the Media.
If we can survive the next two years, we may be able to build enough alternate media to re-take the country.
I pray for it every day.
I work on the project, every day.
The Left has followed the Gramscian model of seizing one by one all our institutions. Religion, education, government, heck, the family. The media is the glue that holds it all together (none of those institutions following a socialist model can stand on their own merits). Their incessant droning on of lies, distortions, fabrications and re-definitions have lulled our republic into a stupor both moral and intellectual.
We need to utilize a “come out from among them and be ye separate” approach, as Israel did in the Old Testament. We must create a successful and separate alternative to today’s media (one that won’t get gobbled up in the end like Fox ) and offer up a more accurate take on the world and its practices. We must provide educational solutions that ground our youth in the truth, in our history, in our nations true values. We must re-condition ourselves to think about the corrupting nature of everything the Left has to offer and withdraw and then learn to abstain. We must adopt a 60’s hippie approach to “life on the commune” and develop and support with our dollars only those entities that support our way of life. In short, we must provide the alternative, provide what we know to be effective when it comes to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” and compete with this in the marketplace of ideas. Right now, our side (and I include myself in this) is nothing more than dabblers. We taste a bit of this, we sample some of that, say no altogether to the other—always knowing that we don’t (and shouldn’t go too far with things) but ignoring to greater or lesser degree that no matter how much or how little we take, we are supporting the very institutional apparatus that is destroying us from within.
Massive undertaking—especially given it will need to take place in the context of the Left’s “sex and drugs and rock and roll”, government-dependent, big brother-control-freak-power-hungry approach to people’s lives.
