WHAT IS ANYONE DOING TO COMBAT THE MEDIA???

About all we can do as individuals is boycott them, boycott their sponsors, and try to hit them in the wallet. However I suspect this will have minimal effect as they will gladly LOSE GREAT BIG BUCKETS of MONEY in order to maintain their power and political influence.

If we can get Trump in there he could potentially use antitrust law and the FCC to bust-up the companies which currently hold near-monopolies. We will have to be ready with capital to pick-up the pieces and repurpose them to a new message.

He could also (and this would really upset doctrinaire Conservatives) fire EVERYBODY at NPR and PBS, and repurpose those with a Conservative message. This could be done relatively quickly, and would have the added effect of sending the Left into immediate shock.

Aside from that, anything we can do as individuals would be ethically and morally problematic. Make sure individuals who are in the media receive the Megyn Kelly treatment wherever they go in society. And worse.

I’d be willing to bet that if people en masse started to boycott all cable ‘news’, that the propaganda machine would start giving cable ‘news’ away for free. They’d forego their profits to ensure the propaganda continues to be piped into every household that will accept it.
