Websites, radio stations, podcasts, and so forth ought to be stood up by party members with access to money—the Harris campaign and associated groups, by the way, spent about $5 billion losing this election—particularly if they can replace genuine local news that has been gutted by private equity and Facebook, or if they are centered on subjects typically neglected by liberals like sports or gaming. The core strategy is to set up publications with progressive views but likely to have broader appeal. Honest partisanship should be the standard, rather than a pretend above-it-all “objective journalism” that in practice means bending reality completely beyond recognition to benefit Donald Trump.
You need to have a degree of awareness that you are just being circle jerked by publications like the NYT or WaPo.
We need to reject elitism: its what drives people away from the DNC.
WashPo is literally run by a former Murdoch executive and is owned by Bezos.
Wake up and smell the 2024. Its not 2014 anymore. Its not “circle jerked by WashPo”, its “WashPo bans endorsements days before the election, timing maximum damage to the Kamala campaign”.
You’re falling for the fucking trap. The elites are Elon Musk, Zuckerberg, Bezos, LA Times, and all the other billionaires in charge of internet media, newspapers, and cable.
The “elites” are on one side. And they made their point very evident this past election.
Yes and…
Yes, and also everything you’ll ever get from them is filtered through a lense of kids who graduated from elite, ivy league institutions. Its not JUST that its owned by billionaires, but also that the culture there has been selected to be membership of the petty bourgeoisie
Its way more obvious that WashPo was used as a backdoor to get conservative speakers into a liberal space this past year. It was effective, and they only revealed the treachery late in the game.
Democrats 100% need to rethink their media strategy. In fact, I’d dare argue that the media problem is Democrat’s #1 issue above all else. The infighting about 100k-ish votes in Michigan and blame to minorities needs to stop. Lets start thinking about the 10-million votes problem and really what we need to do to recapture / re-energize that.
