Populist Reform of the Democratic Party

(43,405 posts)the 20s, 30s, 40s are usually people's busiest, obviously. Also too many people are unaware of online independent left news sites & the RW, corporate consolidation of 90% of mainstream media. I wish this was not the case. Yet I've also noticed a good number of active millennials on DU which is hopeful.
Much damage has been done by 20+ years of prolific RW Radio, esp. now, & TV heard all over the US for free in stores, offices, hotels, cars, trucks. If the left doesn't develop a quality, accessible Media outlet, on TV, Radio, online & in print soon, to try to combat this I don't know how we'll ever overcome the dominant widespread lies & misinformation on the right. I think the left underestimates this phenomenon favoring the internet which many people don't even know to use for alternative news.
I'd like to know HOW & WHEN folks came to DU? (I heard of it from Thom H. several yrs. ago).
