Today's KOS-written lead story about "Nasty Nedra" the media's latest lie-hole, includes a little blurb about how the media elite are having a bit of fun laughing at the blogosphere's response to their lies and distortions.
Well, "I am mad as hell and I am not going to take it anymore!"
Do you want to 'Stir Up a Little Storm in the Media", folks??? Want to get on TV for "your 15 minutes of fame"? Want bash a media whore like Tim Russert or Nedra Picklehead as bad as I do!?!
Well, I am working on it... and I am about to let the 'cat out of the bag'. But I want to be mysterious just a few days longer while things get set up. However, I will be posting here about things as they fall into place.
The blogosphere funded and sent it's own reporter to Iraq. The Dean and Clark campaigns are making some use of the internet for fundraising, communicating with backers and campaign organizing. But so far, we in the "blogosphere" have been responding to the proddings of the media whores, but we have been getting little respect.
Maybe it is time we prodded them a bit! In ways that might get their 'attention' a little better.
The internet is just beginning to flex its muscles in the 'real world'. So what do you say? Let's flex our muscles in the real world.
If you have posted about how rotten you think some media whore is treating a progressive candidate or issue, please join the community that is forming. Write about it, yes, but we can also do something about it, too!
I made my email address 'hard-to-harvest' but it is not impossible to contact me. If you comment here with a way to reach you I will follow-up. I have been contacting people (you know who you are) by email and have had quite a bit of interest shown.
Please doublecheck your 'hard-to-harvest' email addresses. I 'decoded' one and the mail came back. If you would like me to contact you, please make a comment that says so and make sure I can decode your email address. I will be following the comments to this post until I make a comment saying I am stopping.
I will be looking for help and helpers. I will be looking for Ideas, Comments and Guidance. KOS runs a community site here and that's what I am looking for. I am going to stop referring to what I will do now and start speaking of our community... My friends, we are going to fight back!
Let's stir up a little storm (say a class 5 hurricane) in the media!
To paraphrase an old political saying: "Let's teach them not to pick a fight with people who buy electrons by the barrel."
Why should we tolerate the media laughing at us? We can punish the liars and misleaders in the media. And we can turn out of office the worst president in US history.
Why should everybody else have all the fun?
