Reply #32: I don't think we have to worry about the Corporate Media too

much anymore. They no longer are the only ones with a megaphone.

Eg, when this movement began, they ignored it. That was a tactic hoping that without their coverage, the movement would die after the first weekend.

Instead, it grew like wildfire and it was generally concluded that the movement, which anticipated negative coverage from the MSM, was far better off without them.

Seeing how irrelevant they have become, they moved to the next phase, undermining it. That didn't work either as polls show that 57% of the population agree with the movement and over 80% support their right to protest and had heard about it.

We have so many other news sources now that weren't available during the Bush years or the last couple of elections.

What is on google doesn't matter if it is coming from the MSM. A majority of people now do not trust them.

This movement could not have grown the way it has just a couple of years ago when the MSM was all-powerful. Times have changed, they are part of the problem and recognized as such, especially by young people who get their news online mostly as polls show.

As for the tea-baggers, those are the fringes, becoming more and more isolated, as many of their former members, no longer support that movement acknowledging it was taken over by Corporate interests.

But you are right, the movement has to keep hitting back and so far they've been doing a great job of that.

However, no one thought this would be easy. The more successful the movement is, the more of a threat it will be to the Corporate Powers who run this government and the media. So, the fight is only beginning and people do have to be alert and never expect positive coverage from the Propaganda Arm of Corporate America. It won't happen. We have to use all the other tools we have, and there are many :-)
