How can we get MSM to stop using MoveOn.Org and "Liberal Bloggers"

[applegrove]

and start using the word "grassroots" as it really is a case where individuals voluntarily join a political movement on their own and take action. These are simply organizational methods. If they called the Right Wing grassroots - they should call us that too. Equivalent. Unless they want to call the right wing actions and opinions "taught from the religious pulpit as people attend church and passed down through the church hierarchy with help and cooperation from the GOP on identifying wedge issues".

I would understand any resentment the MSM feels towards the internet. Change is hard. So it is when your consumers don't like your product. But I think in the interest of fairness they should call the people talking about Karl Rove resigning as "grassroots".

Balance.

1. How about the counter radical right group?

2. Why? All publicity is good publicity.

Imagine what happens when people's interest gets tweaked and they do a bit of websurfing to see what all the fuss is about.

You can't pay for that kind of publicity!!

3. MoveOn.Org is not the whole of it. I don't think it is fair. What happens

when they have smeared the name long enough? How would they smear the term 'grassroots'? Blogs are important but they are not the whole of it. And look what they did to the word Liberal.

Words are dangerous.

4. We need to use the word all the time

and get it into the dialogue regularly enough to be picked up. We'd have to use it in a disciplined way as in consistently, everyone, all the time.
