Isn't it amazing that no media story about him had a picture of him since he was avoiding arrest. If that had been any Freeper wanted for thinking bad thoughts about envirals, our pictures would have covered the first seven pages of any left wing newspaper. You're certainly right about that. And it's the metro area newspapers that set the media agenda for news on radio, TV, etc.
The more I think about it, the more I think conservatives should band together and simply buy the Oregonian, Chronicle, L.A. Times, etc. Don't start competing newspapers, buy the existing left-wing rags, and fire the editorial boards. I bet we could do that, and it would cost about as much as all the money we dump into a handful of races over a couple of elections.
And it would turn the political climate in the affected cities on its head.
I have said for years that we need to buy out a troubled tv net work and some major newspapers to do exactly what you are saying. So I agree with you.
The problem is that often what appears to be a minor league fishwrap is owned by a huge Rat controlled empire. Then we are talking about massive bucks. They will just close the doors on an operation when it becomes too much of a lost leader instead of selling it. Our local fish wrap is owned and controlled by the Pulitzers. The Santa Rosa Democrat is owned and controlled by those who own and control the NY Slimes. Black Agnes can fill us in on the ownership of the Oregonian and Oregon Live. They ain't small NW yokels.
Of course if we could buy one out, my advice would be to fire everyone from the janitors to the top dog editors/publishers. Each of these left wing fish wraps have a terrible left wing corporate culture. If you leave a single entity, they will spread that disease like a virus throughout the new company.
However, it needs to be done. This lack of a picture of Tree Scum Bag in even a minor league Oregon newspaper is proof of the news spiking that is done 24/7 by the rat controlled media.
In the meantime we can impact these left wing fish wraps individually. If every freeper cancelled their subscriptions to all left wing fishwraps and sent half of their monthly savings to Free Republic, we would have an incredible impact ont them.
