9. So we have to distribute exaggerated, biased information to get people on our side?

Good point. Maybe that's exactly what we should be doing. That is what makes dems different from repubs though. We usually want to take the high ground. It wouldn't hurt to throw a little spice in there now and then though. Lincoln Project was doing a good job I thought, but I think most of what they were saying was true. And it was small scale. We have to convince a wealthy person to buy up some media companies like Murdoch has, find a few convincing actors to pound it all home. But, you're correct, the right wing seems to have a monopoly on it. I think you should talk to Bloomberg, Soros, Gates, Turner, Spielberg. Some already have media companies. And I just thought of Al Franken and Stephanie Miller as hosts for starters. They are smart, funny, and would probably love busting some balls and would draw people in. Keep saying what you're saying until some people listen. It is a wonder how that rightwing machine has been ignored for so long to let it get so big. Way stupid, too.
