We need a boycott list of the companies trying to control free speech. As was said on
I don't watch TV at all, not for the last five years anyway. I don't read papers anymore, I listen to certain Radio shows in the mainstream, that seem to be escaping the control (for now), so that is my way of boycotting stuff.
Top of my list (UK wise) would be the BBC. This outfit are still government, and the cover ups and bias are outrageous. OK, they are famous for their quality (ie Animal documentaries and sport etc), and are strictly ad free, but they are still top of my boycott list.
U.S ? CNN and the like, but Fox seems to go out of it's way to pretend they are not mainstream, so I'm not sure about them.
Everyone knows the MSM is owned by 6 Corporations? So just throw the TV out of the window guys....
I appreciate your view John but the problem is that this playing field for fair competitive reporting is shrinking and unless we hit the big guys where it hurts,meaning their wallets, it will all disappear and we really will all be in a bind. I'm, personally, not good at trying to speak in code.I would rather get true but flawed info than be spoon fed complete crud,albeit at least then I'd know that all of it was worthless. Be safe.
I agree, if there was to be a boycott list. but here's the problem, people here already know what's up. How can we get this boycott list to the masses? Because you know as well as I do that facts don't matter to these people. So how could we actually get the sheep to read the list first of all, and then actually get them to follow it? Gonna take some creative thinking on everyone's part.
I don't suppose we could visit strip clubs and write the list on the strippers derrieres?
What about leaving pamphlets about freedom of the internet around colleges and how certain companies think it great to blackmail you tube into censoring people's rights to their opinions?
I agree with John W and Cobro, it's much better to take personal action and encourage others to do the same through whatever means possible. I'm not really a fan of online petitions, and I have serious doubts about the effectiveness of such methods to bring about actual change.
I think we're better off focusing on positive ways to bypass the mainstream media and render them irrelevant. Giving support (both financial and intellectual) to groups such as AMTV is an important starting point.
