Reply #119: "Media augmentation" is paramount, from reading this thread and [View All]

others. I say augmentation, instead of "reform", because to me reform smacks of censorship. Our viewpoint and the real news about America need to get out there consistently, every day, on cable and on free TV. If I had an extra $200 million to donate to the DNC, I'd earmark it for our own 24 hour news channel. With most of Hollywood on our side, we'd go gangbusters in getting the truth and the Democratic perspective out there. As it is, it's like forcing water through a very small crack in the Hoover Dam - yes, some truth gets through but most of it is held back. I feel like I live in 2 different universes - the corporate media universe and the "real universe" of DU. Once media augmentation occurs, election reform and dissemination of the truth will really occur. And not one nanosecond before.
