The U.S. media corporate conglomerate is one of the most damaging institutions in society. It is used by the greedy, sadistic, and sociopathic corporatists who own it to distribute falsehoods, misinformation, absurd narratives, and propaganda.
By infecting the airwaves with a virulent mist of lies and false narratives, it contributes to the manipulation of millions of people who are purposely misled into acting against their interests, so they can be exploited and enslave by the rising Corporate State.
As part of a "Harnessing Crowd Intelligence Campaign," I'd like to ask your collaboration for the drafting of a very straightforward, succinct, and factual letter/email to be send to every mainstream media outlet in the country.
I wrote about this issue in a diary titled Research Study Explains How U.S. Media Brainwashes The Public
Quoting a Master's Degree Thesis by Frank McCoy:
The more [concentrated] the media landscape becomes the greater risk of harm there is to the public interest. As powerful corporations grow increasingly wealthier, powerful, influential, and politically affiliated the greater risk there is to the political economy on a global scale. The risk inherent with affluential transcultural media corporations is the mass homogenization of content and, thus, propagandist reinforcement of corporate and political interests serving only the dominant elites and, in turn, harming and marginalizing non-elites. One would be grossly remiss of the tangible danger and malign effects to the public to simply abridge the issue examined in this study as a case of the rich getting richer while the poor get poorer.
From your input, I will attempt to draft a few sample letters and have people vote for the best draft (at
www.raypensador.com).
Then, once the best draft is selected, I'm going to ask for volunteers across the country to send them via email and/or regular mail to newspaper, radio, and TV media outlets in their communities.
Ideally, this will be a long-term project with the letters being sent for the foreseeable future.
Please see the map below... It's the result of a "thought experiment" I designed to prove the proposition that it is possible to harness the energy, and wisdom of crowds, and put it into action.
As I move this project forward, I'm going to build a database to chart the activities of the "network" or "crowd" as it relates to different social justice activism.
To be part of the "crowd intelligence network" you can join my mailing list at www.raypensador.com.
Map: Please visit this link for information about the map below. I asked people to conduct a simple thought experiment to show that it is possible to coordinate focused and strategic action nationally.
