Progressives need a mass propaganda network

This article explains why Democrats lose the propaganda war. Part of it is that they look down on propaganda as underhanded and below their dignity. But propaganda per se isn't negative and can be used positively to instill progressive values and motivate voters. The more beneficial term is 'framing,' using cognitive science and linguistics for that purpose. Still, too many liberals still think if we just present the facts and policies that help people then that should do it. But it doesn't and obviously is not enough.

So the article recommends investing in creating a liberal mass media instead of relying on corporate mass media. The latter is rarely if ever going to promote liberal values and policies because they are owned by corporations that don't give a shit about that. The Repugs have done so with Pox Views and dominating AM radio stations around the nation. And it works for them. Libs need to realize that a mass propaganda campaign is necessary to win elections and make such an investment immediately.

There is though a liberal media on YouTube, though it could hardly be called massive. And more often than not the establishment Dem Party denounces them at every step because they accurately report on the Party's corrupt influence by corporate money. So that's another part of the equation, that perhaps the Party won't invest in their own mass media campaign because corporate media works just fine to keep things as they are. So it's up to we the people to seek out the real progressive media and support it so that it might achieve massive proportions and have greater influence.
