In reply to the discussion: Democrats aren't going to win elections again until they build a well-oiled information ecosystem [View all]Lonestarblue
(13,195 posts)5. Agree. We cannot rely on any existing media to refute the lies and accurately report the news.
CNN used to be close to a reliable nonpartisan outlet, but they have moved too far to the right. MSNBC is perceived as too liberal, which means we need a new voice in a cable channel with online access also that presents facts and truth. Thats a costly proposition. Are there any billionaires willing to fund such a venture? Is there a way to start as a grass roots operation? Im thinking of podcasts here and I know there are several good ones, but are they all heavily associated with each party. For example, Robert Reichs newsletters and podcasts are excellent but associated with Democrats alone.

I think social media and podcasts are actually more influential than Fox News.

Unless you get Randi Rhodes on board with information sharing and spreading the effort won't be worth a fuck

Right and they are " monetized". I have tried to explain this to my very gullible friend time and time again.

"Information ecosystem" is horrible babble. Wanting it to be "well-oiled" is crappy mixing of metaphors.
