3. "on television, showing up with microphones and bullhorns."

WE don't OWN any major "television networks" and THEY are the ones who will pick and choose what to cover and WHO to bring onto their shows.

We continue to whine about "doing something" and we ARE doing this type of thing, but NO ONE is there to cover it except maybe a few local stations and CSPAN, because the rest are RW-owned.

Disconnect the idea of our "messaging" from the REALITY of NOT having a platform TO message with.

People bitch about the few that we own/run like MeidasTouch and their purported "clickbait" headlines, but don't grasp the concept that we are spending our money on HELPING PEOPLE instead of building a BROADCAST INFRASTRUCTURE, while the GOP spends money on HURTING PEOPLE to ENRICH THEMSELVES, using their OWN broadcast infrastructure.
