6. Agreed, but a NEW press - the power of the citizen-press.

WE need to keep these stories moving so that the traditional corporate media is forced to cover them.

Totalitarian governments cannot survive without controlling information. When the riots occurred many years ago in China, it was the FAX machine which they weren't ready to control.

With today's technology, most notably cell-cam video, the actual news spreads on the internet faster than those in power can spin it.

It is one thing to rec a DU post and comment.

Then each of us needs to take the next steps - forward to friends, post, like, and share on facebook, tweet and re-tweet links on twitter. It takes me a whopping three minutes or less.
