In reply to the discussion: What's clear is that Democratic Party messaging is woefully inadequate [View all]BlueCaliDem
(15,438 posts)The reason why we're not getting our message out is because we're at the mercy of pro-Republican media that's all but killed the 4th Estate and replaced it with propaganda outlets filled with corporate shills as reporters that are still seen and revered as the long dead 4th estate. Two Pew Research studies have shown that painful fact. Where is the media touting these studies?? This is where the problem lies.
President Obama and the Democrats have an excellent message, but with five out of six mega corporations that own all of our media, blasting their message day in, day out, through radio, broadcast, cable, and search engines (anyone notice how the first ten pages are stuffed with only rightwing sites? Yep. Cons spend hundreds of thousands to keep their sites at the forefront), we could have the best messages in the world, but it's like a tree falling in the woods. If no one sees it, does it make a sound?
