One of my most frequen issue is pushing for more activism on the part of progressives to stand up against the right wing media machine more. I try to get progressives flexing their consumer muscles, a powerful weapon that the right weilds far more effectively and more often than we do. I often point out that if we don't make a fuss, complain and boycott, we will continue to lose. Let me emphasize that right wing activists complain all the time and threaten boycotts. AND companies like Verizon, for example, listen to them and pull ads based on these complaints. It is time for us to shout louder and to be heard.
