You are right, the media will ignore it and downplay it.
It would be better to attack the media. They have been twisting minds and providing cover for criminals for too long. If they did their job truthfully, there would be no Hillary or Mueller.
Pick a target and destroy it. Any media target will do. Drop them and letter bomb their advertisers. Make them know they won’t have our $$$ for peddling lies against this administration. March on them! Literally drive one of them out of business.
Take a lead from the President. He talks about fake news daily. He sees what they control.
We have been attacked from so many sides for so long; there are so many enemies out there.
You are right to focus on the drivebys as they are the leading edge of the democratic Left putsch.
However, with so many targets, we need to focus on a few top targets.
Washington DC is home of the SWAMP, and this is the greatest threat at the present time. We need, as a large group of never-covered people who also have legitimate grievances—not just shot at school kids, women with pussy hats, and all the other causes of the Left—to be heard.
The drivebys won’t cover our anger unless we do something to force them to. A march is a thing many people understand.
As I’ve said, I’m just a guy.
But we need to do something sooner than later, and it’s got to be MORE than whining to each other on Free Republic or social media (which, incidentally, is shutting down our voices).
We need to make a sacrifice and show up, somewhere, somehow!

I agree. What about surrounding CNN's or NBC's Washington Bureau, possibly for a few days, and preventing people from going in and out with a crowd of thousands?
Shut down the Sunday talk shows.
Go to Atlanta and do the same to the entire CNN building.
Don't forget, we have Trump's organized 11/11 military parade in Washington, which is an implicitly pro-Trump, right wing event. We should all go to that and bring many protest signs.
Perhaps after the parade we could move directly to protest at the DOJ or FBI headquarters in Washinton.
The Old Media,cbsabcnbccnnmsnbc are dying a slow and painful death. We should let them die not try and retrain the untrainable. We have our own media,the New Media. It's talk radio,a few TV nets that get it and here on the blogosphere where everything happens and then the world copies what we do.
That’s why, to me, there is only one issue - delegitimating “the media.” Without “the media” and its ability to propagandize the masses we the people, the Democrats would be dead in the water. I’ve been on that case since Carter was a president, and I have some conclusions/recommendations:If you whine about “the media” but cannot call out journalism, you can never make progress. The issue is not that journalism is not objective - of course it isn’t, and cannot be - but that the people are indoctrinated with the propaganda that journalism (somehow) is objective. And that the bias inherent in journalism is toward pro-socialist, anti-freedom, propaganda.
- the issue is not the “media,” it is the specific format of "information” which the media are used to propagandize with. Namely, the “topical nonfiction” format known as “the news.” Journalism. If you are whining about “the media” and not laying a glove on journalists in particular, you are a loser. Granted that fiction can be effectively used against us, nobody is going to support censorship of nonfiction, so it is utterly useless to whine about it. But (as a mater of facts and logic, and hence of law) journalism has its vulnerabilities.
- Journalism as we know it is wire service journalism, and all wire services - and most spectacularly, the Associated Press - have a powerful homogenizing tendency. That is, wire service journalism generates "a conspiracy against the public,” as Adam Smith predicted of any meeting of “people of the same trade.” (And the AP “wire” is a virtual meeting of all major journalism outlets in the US, ongoing since before the Civil War, which by Smith’s logic makes a conspiracy against the public inevitable).
- Journalism is known (by journalists themselves, and anyone who cares to look) to be negative. And yet journalists claim that journalism is objective.
- A claim that journalism - known to be negative - is objective is effectively a claim that “negativity is objectivity.” But that is a statement of pure cynicism.
- The cynicism - the extreme skepticism - of journalism is directed at society rather than government. In fact, cynicism towards society cries out for unlimited government to save society from itself.
- The combination of cynicism toward society and naive faith in government promoted by journalism is precisely what socialist propaganda wants to sell.
- The promotion of socialist propaganda is the “conspiracy against the public” which a reading of Smith requires us to expect from wire service, and especially AP, journalism.
- The upshot is that the AP and its membership should be sued under Anti-Trust legislation, and the AP itself destroyed. Because the mission of the AP - the conservation of scarce, expensive bandwidth in the propagation of news - is anachronism in the era of plentiful, inexpensive data transmission bandwidth.
- Campaign Finance regulation either has to directly regulate journalism, or it has to carve out exceptions for the membership of the AP to putatively avoid violation of 1A. But freedom of the press must mean that the government cannot regulate journalism and it cannot prevent anyone from being a journalist. The FEC is unconstitutional, root and branch. And the justification of the FCC is very sketchy.
