Re from Cres: OCT29: Response by Peta: Part of the Lucha = Media War

Gracias for your input Cres ~ I understand where you are coming from but it is a naive position. I am angry more than frustrated about the Pig Media.They ignore us to death and apathy is a killer!

 

I was doing press releases over 20 years ago from small events and these same  ol' tribe arguments recycle themselves.

Flash! We need to get actual media access, without it we need to create our own media out to our own people as unembedded independent journalists. Freedom of the press is for those who own one!

 

I have a lot more faith in the Third World peoples outside the USA than I do in those within the continental United States.

 

We are already under attack Cres. We need to expose the corporate controlled nature of the so-called mass media
not condone it or excuse it. How can I compete with that racist pig Lou Dobbs on CNN?!?

Friends,

Again, I understand the frustration. Hey, I left my news career as a mainstream political reporter for a reason. I couldn't be a part of the business any longer because, in large part, I felt the news media were part of the problem.

But, understand the media is being given in this instance 2 messages...some groups (UFW, SEIU) have suggested they ARE for the Senate compromise.

This is why our side must maintain OPEN communication with the news media, and not, create a "media war." Because I can tell you who will lose. :)) Us. Keep the dialog open, take positive steps as I suggested and we will win the day. It won't happen today, or tomorrow. But if we can maintain center stage over the more conservative groups, in multiple actions, our message will be heard loud and clear.

The media is slow, and they are sent, often, in the wrong direction because the spin doctors are paid well to do that. We can, and have already, influenced the news media. We should continue, in a positive way, to do this. If we attack the media, we'll surely lose.

Cres

scfarnsworth@ucdavis.edu I think we
need to do like, hit the media over the head. We were watching network news
and it was HORRIBLE - they said we were marching FOR the bill! (because of
the legalization) I don't know how many f'in times we need to say it! Don't they LISTEN? ~cut here..
