I've been banging on about this for years. We need pro Dem media. It simply does not exist. The major networks are "both sides" at best. Cable news is infotainment noise. Twitter is a GOP stronghold. You get the point. What do Democrats have in order to influence the mindset of voters? Not much.
Pro Dem media is not the same as "liberal media" or "left wing media" or even "centrist media". Pro Dem means pro Dem. It operates from the consistent premise that voting blue is the more rational choice every single time. There is ample economic data to support this idea. Enough to run with.
And again, "left wing media" is not the same as "pro dem". In fact, many of the loudest voices "from the left" hate Democrats even more than Republicans. This will not help prevent the trump style onslaught. In fact, it will aid it, by convincing people not to vote at all. Dems need to create media.
You can call it propaganda. fine. Every other niche has it's propaganda. If Dems don't create their own they lose. And America loses. Simple as that. They need to aggressively engage in the information warfare that everyone else has BEEN engaged in for years. Time to catch up.
All you have to do to translate this quote to today is change “tv” into all the various screens we now use.
