How can common Americans fight the liberal media?

Answer 1

The liberal media is a right wing myth.One of the many right wing myths that hopefully soon will be history.Almost all media in the US is corporate owned and right wing in their coverage.
The Liberal Media myth is a propaganda tool employed by conservative radio hosts, columnists and pundits as a convenient excuse why after 20 years their ideology has failed to convince the public at large, and as a memetic inocculation of the public against the evidence that the media bias is in fact a conservative one.

Not only does the liberal media claim have no basis in fact, it also does not make sense considering the issues of media ownership and influence of advertisers. Most media outlets are owned by a handful of conservative corporations and individuals, and funded by usually economically conservative advertisers who have no need for an educated, alert, independent and critical citizenry. What they need is a dumb, bored, cynical and apathetic public that has abandoned all critical faculties and is easily distracted by celebrity gossip and mindless sports games. A public that will believe anything it is told, or nothing at all, which amounts to the same end result. This pro-corporate conservative bias of the media is well-documented and shows itself in consistent under-reporting or ignoring of any information that would lead people to question the fundamental status quo.

Answer 2

You have never encountered a liberal media. Unless you count Comedy Centrals made up news "The Daily Show " with Jon Steward. Besides you are asking the wrong question. You should be asking. "How can us Americans fight off the constant propaganda thrown at us from the complete ownership of the Media by corporate America?...Mary

Answer 3

Common Americans are already fighting back, it called ad revenue and ratings, the Fox News Channel is now larger that CNN, domestically and Air America is Bankrupt. Us commoners are doing are job, keep up the good work.

Bonus NBC is down over 30 percent in viewership over last year.

Answer 4

Why would you want to fight it? Are you a communist?

By hating liberal media it's only logical that you want the media to be controlled by the government. It's only logical that you want the truth to be hidden and it's only logical to that you don't believe in freedom of speech but rather in Communism.

It pains me to see such ignorant questions. Here's the definition of liberal:

1. favourable to or in accord with concepts of maximum individual freedom possible, esp. as guaranteed by law and secured by governmental protection of civil liberties.
2. favouring or permitting freedom of action, esp. with respect to matters of personal belief or expression: a liberal policy toward dissident artists and writers.

Answer 5

You answered back with Fox and Limbaugh. You can no longer complain. You have you own outlets now. Plus you have Drudge and the Internet. The liberal media as you call it is no longer the exclusive media in America.

Answer 6

Well.......you can continue to watch FOX and digest their LIES.

FLORIDA COURT RULING SAYS MEDIA CAN LEGALLY LIE

“On February 14, a Florida Appeals Court ruled that there is absolutely nothing illegal in a major media organisation lying, concealing or distorting information. The
court reversed the US$425,000 jury verdict of 2000 that was in favour of journalist Jane Akre, who charged she was pressured by Fox Television management and
lawyers to air what she knew and documented to be false information.”

“ After a five-week trial and six hours of deliberation which ended August 18, 2000, a Florida state court jury unanimously determined that Fox "acted intentionally and deliberately to falsify or distort the plaintiffs' news reporting on BGH." In that decision, the jury also found that Jane's threat to blow the whistle on Fox's misconduct to the FCC was the sole reason for the termination... “

Answer 7

The "Media" is a business.

Put your money where it does things your way and if you have enough who think the same, you will change the Media Business.

When the money goes, bankruptcy follows

Answer 8

No fighting is necessary. Why would there need to be?

There are enough information sources out there that no fighting is needed. Individuals need to pick the information sources they trust most. Usually, it's those sources that AGREE with what they've already decided.

Answer 9

Don't watch it.
Don't listen to it.
Don't subscribe to it.
Don't support sponsors who finance it.

It's really that easy.
If there are enough of you who believe that there is a liberal media, and you outnumber those that do pay attention to it, the ratings will fall, sponsors will drop out, and your problem is taken care of!

Answer 10

Start a blog. start your own online radio program. Count how many times they say conservative Republican but do not say liberal democrat. Like when Peter Jennings and dan rather cheered for Kerry getting into the White House.
