Lebell, good post, as usual.
So what can we do about it? Obviously voting third party hasen't made a difference. We've tried writing to the broadcasting companies. I've written ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, PBS, and most of the news networks personally. Deaf ears. I've written my local representatives. Everyone from city officials to the governor have gotten wonderful letters from me. We have countless websites that outline what's wrong. Does it effect anything to a degree of change? It sure doesn't seme that way. TFP is a great community, don't get me wrong, but it seems so small in the political arena. I ask again, so what can we do about it? Grassroots news organizations are local at best and are discredited by major news conglomerates. Bush has on several occasions said that conspiracy theories are the enemy of America.
It's starting to feel like a lost cause. If anyone has an idea as to how one could spread information on a national scale, let's hear it. Until we do something about it, all we're doing is talking.
IMO.
