Media Needs to Shine a light on the ugliness of hate in all of its manifestations |
|
This isn't my original idea, I got it here from a post on DU, can't recall when or where. But the idea got into my brain and it won't go away.
Shine a light on Generic Un-American Hate, period. RW radio hate, Race-haters, GLBT haters, Muslim haters, whatever. All of it. The common denominator.
The ugliness of Hate itself.
Please K&R if you agree.. thanks.

1. I agree, but the MSM is promoting hate. |
|
I don't think they're going to shine a light up their own dirty assholes.

2. Aw jeez, I wouldn't want to see that. |
|
But maybe it can become a fad.. a cause.. a call to our better selves. They ought to try it, it just might affect their ratings in a positive way.

6. It's good that stuff gets reported, but more is needed. The Beast needs to be named. |
|
The very phenomenon of hate, the minority of people in this country who choose and use hate... this needs to be illuminated. Just like shining a light on roaches. No judgement is needed, just the light, so everybody can see clearly. Hate is just not cool, not beautiful, not American.
