A few thoughts:

We have plenty of blogs and news sites that cater to the converted. We need more conservative controlled media outlets that reach non-conservative and low information voters. They need to be “unbiased” in the same way the Mainstream Media is “unbiased.” Mostly straight news....Sub text is much more powerful than text.

I would guess that more people get their news from TMZ and other infotainment sources than from any “real” news source. Weather, sports, health, and the doings of celebrity vermin are more important than politics to 75% of the population. Anything that gets impressionable eyeballs on our message is a win.

Humor and entertainment are much more effective at relating information than dull news reports. A hilarious YouTube video can get hundreds of thousands to millions of views. That’s more people than watch many news programs and someone watching a video on YouTube is likely more influenceable than an opinionated news junkie that watches a talk show on CNN.

The internet is still destroying the traditional media outlets and lowering the cost of entry. Romney will raise a billion dollars or more for this campaign. If 20% of that much had been raised and spent on giving us a louder voice in the media it would have delivered more results than all the god-awful commercials being aired. Come on Koch brothers, open your wallets....

The internet has a huge hole: Local news. This is what people are most interested in. It is also one of the the richest advertising prizes. This is still an almost totally untapped market that could deliver big results if we made it a priority.

I think you are on to something.. I suggest the Local News anchors are as liberal as the big nets, but have a more freedom to pass along their biases to direct consumers in local markets..

Lets lead some organized badgering of their stations and advertisers until they stop out of fear of losing their jobs, or fired.. The left does it all of the time.. I say fair play, I am sick to Hell over the way they covered for this despot..
