We are looking at the politicians and complaining when the PROBLEM is the media distorting the facts and propagandizing everything. The media moguls are de facto running the country for their benefit.

We need to ‘pay off’ the media the same way democrats do..
1. Media outlets are struggling... conservatives should form non-profit ‘media’ organizations to offer to place reporters in newsrooms ON OUR dime... to cover areas the paper would cover anyhow: business, traditional culture etc. The paper rationalizes having a ‘minder’ in staff meetings and we get out our side in a subtle way...
2. Create media war rooms that rely on detectives and ‘bought and paid for’ sources. Get stories ethical papers can’t get because of their ethics. Then put those stories in a packet for editors to use to ‘look smart’ and capable...
3. When the coin of the realm is information bribes are made in ‘insider’ information. Reward ‘intelligence’ people willing to leak to us in exchange for favors...
4. In short rather than conservatives whining about how ‘unfair’ the press is they need to learn to play the game.
