If we really wanted to wake up the world, we'd stop organizing for media attention and start organizing for impact.

I appreciate the teaparties very much, but it was a given that they would be ignored by our elected officials and impugned by the MSM. We need to start forcing them to hear the people.

Well, what does that mean, to organize for impact? One can either appeal to minds or to skulls. While I have nothing against bashing heads in the proper context, it isn't the first resort in politics. Media attention would seem to be the better way, one we've hardly exhausted yet.

Ah. I see what you mean (I think!) by "organizing for media attention." You mean the existing media. I'd agree we won't get their attention, and when we do it won't be agreeable anyway.

What I was originally suggesting on this thread was that we cultivate our own media, TV among other things, and do what we can to make the MSM shrivel and die.
