We will never control anything until America gives up it's American Idol mentality
When reality TV draws more attention from mainstream America than the suffering in other lands, or even within our own borders, we have to ask ourselves who are we targeting in our attempt to wrest control of the Nation from the Reich-wing. Whenever there is something coming, FOX puts out yet another carefully manicured show to draw the people's attention away from more serious issues.

Glee targets the demographic that voted in huge numbers for Obama and they stayed home in droves in November 2010, it's news (and I use that term loosely) operation is EVERYWHERE and free on virtually every cable and satellite network in the country, on display everywhere, subtly spewing it's propaganda message to millions daily, not just the mouth-breathers.

We have control of ZERO newspapers, zero TV networks, and zero radio networks. Our message reaches US not the people who need to hear it. Unless this changes, we're in for a long slog in 2012. And we may just have to wait until White is no longer the majority in this country to rid ourselves of these Fascist pigs.

2. I've noticed often when people acquire wealth and power often they become
quite callous and insular to everything around them. Much as when I was young I used to say it will be better when the old fart conservative bigots are gone ... and they're still here.

I think it cuts across race and age.

What you said about the media is 10000% on target IMO.

I am soooo frustrated with it all. More people pay attention to these shows than they do the future of this country and some of the dangerous and devious shenanigans going on ...

3. I don't watch, if I wanted to see half baked talent, I'd go to a karaoke night.
I don't watch Glee and I did vote in Nov. 2010, so I may not be their key demographic.
Then again, does that demographic even vote?
