The Root Cause of the mess we are in today?

13. It has been an operation that began with buying up media outlets years ago.

The people behind this have been in it for the long run. I began with Rush Limbaugh in the 90s and has grown, flowered and gone to seed. It will be a hell of a tangle to try to straighten out. The biggest problem is that Democrats can not undo the hard right thinking, and now Republican are losing the ability to do so too. The First Amendment, which is close to my heart, works against our ability to deal with the problem through government action.

What we can do, within the law, and what we should do, is go after the advertisers with publicity and boycott. You have seen, already, how many big businesses have threatened to, or have removed funding from the hard core because of the negative publicity over 1/6. DU would be a heck of a good forum to begin develop a program of shaming right wing program advertisers. We need to compile names of advertisers, contact them, and stop buying their products. We do not need to be financing the overthrow of our government.

Make the advertisers figure out if they can sustain their business without progressive buyers. The only pain corporations feel is in the accounting department. We have to use the power of spending to make change. Lets make them squeal.
