Democrats, Communication and Outreach

[mandyky]

I hope whoever is chosen as DNC chair does the following -

Get a decent web server and simulcast all Democratic meetings, including things like today's selection of DNC Chair proceedings.

Offer a feed to outlets like Democracy Now and Air America Radio.

Support independent liberal talk radio, like Guy James Show. And buy commercials on AAR and other commercial liberal talk radio. Support independent loacl TV stations if they exist too, if they cover Democratic issues.

See what cities have city govt TV and see if time can be bought when there is no city business to cover. Put Dem outreach type programming on.

We need a weekly or monthly publication - newspaper or magizine - filled with Democratic issues and viewpoints.

You get the idea - we need to create our own alternative media to get our message out, all over the country. This is especially important in red and purple states. Where is Al Gore with his TV station?
We cannot depend on any TV news outlets anymore. Even CBS has taken a hard right. CNN and MSNBC are pathetic and don't balance out FOX unfair and unbalanced at all. We have to communicate with the people we want to vote Dem, and motivate aand activate our base.
