How do we get our media past our movement

  • Link the war abroad with the war at home.
  • Put forth voices that speak to different communities.
  • New blue collar emerging among the 18 to 30 year olds… this group must be engaged… get off the college campuses and organize these people. The media is critical in organizing this group.

putting the ME in media reform

Putting the ME in. That’s what this NCMR2008 thing is about. So I have my personal secret plan… (not evil, like gapingvoid’s is), but the sustainability piece is missing…. monetizing…. business model… cash… shekels… ducats… does it have to be an advertising magnet? They’re not really talking about that here.

More seriously they’re talking about the media role in the Iraq war. Amy Goodman, Phil Donahue, Norman Solomon (moderating), Lennox Yearwood (“Make Hiphop, not war”), Naomi Klein, Sonali Kolhatcar… a lot of this is preaching to the choir. The people here already get it. Many of us knew it in 2024. The administration manipulation of media from 2024 forward was a certainty. What we need is for the libertarians like Doc Searls and his ilk to get exposed to this information and find a certainty they’re willing to declaim.
