2. K&R!!!! Now THATS what I have been talking about!!!!

It's all about the $$$$$$$$$ stupid! Outlaw ALL Campaign Contributions!!! No Super PACS!!!
Publicly Funded Elections making the MSM run campaign ads as a Public Service.

We should be talking about nothing else and spreading the word!

4. Brand gets it

All corporate supported media -- and that includes National rePublican Radio -- is inherently conservative. (Corporate underwriter credits are ads, my friends.) Their only real ideology is profit. If titillating liberals or progressives makes them money, so be it. But they definitely aren't liberal or progressive. (Face it: We live in bizarro-world, where a Republican-authored health insurance scheme is considered socialist.) Only truly listener-supported or viewer-supported media are free from corporate constraints. The media that fall under that category are pathetically few: I can think of Pacifica and the Real News Network off hand. Public broadcasting was originally supposed to fit into that category, but constant attacks on funding have long since extinguished that ideal.
