Your analysis is interesting. And, I agree with a lot of what you say.

But, the core issue is that a handful of liberals CONTROL these media giants and that has to end for this country to do the 180 it has to do to avoid the cliff. One purely perfect example is that kid that took over from his dad at Comcast. What LIV’s hear to a large extent is controlled by this guy. Google Comcast ownership and read all about him. He answers to no board and is in complete control of the largest media empire in the US and he is an Obama lover from the jump! If I had time, I would look up his name for you.

You might not agree with this part... but there's good reasons why journalists have to be independent of owners.

How would you feel if George Soros bought a newspaper and sold charmingly lovely front page stories to his friends and cronies to manipulate markets? Or sold access to reporters to the 'right people'? That kind of stuff would be a thousand times worse than what we have now.

Journalists do have ethical codes - and some of them are down right admirable. That said, we need to keep up the guilt and the logical arguments to force them to change. Women did that and they're now in newsrooms. Same with blacks and other groups. We need to do the same. Yes, cancel your subscriptions, tell them why, write to advertisers, complain to stock holders, write mean things about the MSM on FreeRepublic.

I suspect the MSM hears our little voices because they're losing money. For all I know the New York Times, LA Times and Washington Post check out our comments about them from time to time. They do see themselves as 'general circulation' newspapers - and not 'in house liberal rags'... so who knows.. We're readers here... we're the kind of people they want... maybe someday they'll hear us well enough to hire a few conservatives.
