Liberals and Progressives do NOT own any major media outlets. And it's not like they don't have the money to do so. RW lunatics have a strategy that relies on negativity, fear, and hate. It's like a narcotic drug to them and they are addicted to it. And the way they can project it and spread it is through the media. I.e., they are cold-hearted SOBs.

Liberals and Progressives are more empathetic and prefer a different strategy, and thus you have what you have.

Stop blaming Democrats for "messaging". That is a RW talking point, backed up by their corporate media, designed to stir up discord.

Liberals/Progressives DO have the power of the internet and at this point, that is where the messaging has been established and is passed on to friends, family, and interested parties - whether through progressives blogs, forums, and videos, tweets, Facebook, and email. And if that's not enough, just pick up the damn phone. Everyone must do their part to bypass the RW lamestream media and get the message out.
