10. I Wish You Well
I'm exhausted...since for three years I tried to network with people here using my contacts and 30 years of "media experience". I'll spare you the details of what I encountered and how egos and "ideology" got in the way of serious networking and coordination. It's only going to get worse now. Any concept of a counter liberal media took a major hit in this election and soon it will be felt.

The concept of 48% of us not agreeing with this regime is true, but its for different reasons. Right now, I'm seeing endless posts where you can see what the poster's prime agenda is and that it's THAT issue that wasn't paid enough attention to or it was someone else's fault. You're asking for mobilization in this atmosphere? I wish for civility. I wish for minds to open, to people to take a long needed step back here and take off the rose-colored glasses and see a real world that isn't pretty and isn't fair.

The concept of the media is a complicated one covering various different entities...cable is not newspaper is not over-the-air TV isn't radio isn't internet radio isn't satellite TV and so on. There's no one broad stroke that is applied here and to "reshape the media" is way beyond the financial and marketing reach of many, many I see here.

Now I'm gonna try one last time to attempt a dialogue here. I suspect I'll get frustrated again and just sit back and watch the bloodletting here.
