What they don't understand is how to get effective messaging through to the people who need to see and hear it, who are insulated from it by right wing media propaganda and main stream media bothsiderism. Frankly, I don't have a clue how to do that either. Do you? Even if we had the money to buy a huge network and message effectively on it, and even if we had a way to get people who need the message to tune in to it, it appears to me we would be utterly drowned out.
