10. It's like detoxing
Edited on Tue Jan-04-05 02:56 AM by Downtown Hound
It's amazing how poisonous our media has become. It is literally bad for our health. It's bad for ours because it makes us so angry, and it's bad for the rest of America because it keeps them in a constant state of fear and aggression. Seriously, this should be our new campaign, simply stop watching corporate media. If every liberal in the nation simply turned it off and threw their support to Air America and other progressive news outlets, you better believe all the networks would take notice. They've become they way they have because of the success of Fox. But Fox is nothing. A huge portion of their audience is liberals who tune in because they want to know what the enemy is doing. This is a terrible mistake. All it does is give them ratings and legitimacy. Turn them off. Tune them out. 58.5 million of us voted for John Kerry (and those are the official numbers, the real numbers are no doubt higher). We have the power to leave Fox in the dust if we just stop playing their game.
