Reply #1: we must use the truth

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

and nothing but. It would be a good idea to have groups (real groups, not made up ones) of people with credibility on hand to keep hammering home the truth. We're seeing that happen now, I think, in Camp Casey. It is rather hard to smear so many Gold Star families who are showing obvious real grief. One mother today said Bush hadn't even sent her a letter of condolance over the loss of her son, and she wants to know why. Rather hard for the Right to counteract that.

We can break through the noise by silence. The number of people erecting crosses and signs with the number of US dead is growing, as are the silent peace vigils, made all the more real with the inclusion of veterans.

As far as media plants are concerned, I think the thing to do is move to the internet for news and information. More and more people are doing this, not trusting mainstream media or cable news. This can also be seen in the slipping numbers of listeners to places like Fox. DU is a great place to come, because one can always find links where one can find out the latest news from a variety of sources.
