But we're up against a leviathan. Both right-wing media, and its wimpy, battered cousin, "both sides" mainstream media (MSM), so tilt the playing field in favor of those willing to lie, cheat or steal--who would do anything necessary to win and destroy the opposition--that it's hard to truly explain the breadth of it.

Why do you think Kevin McCarthy has literally handed over control of the House--should he become Speaker--to Majorie Taylor Greene, with barely a peep from anyone? It's because right-wing media lies and both sides MSM refuse to tell the truth--which is that the Republican Party is in the grip of figures, who, if given the chance, will behave like Putin, Erdogan, Orban, MBS and other tyrants the world over. When courageous exceptions in our media step up and display their courage, they're punished. Supposed "free speech" warrior Elon Musk just banned journalists on Twitter for reporting on...him.

I don't just know this academically. I debated then-NRA super-lobbyist Chris Cox in the pages of Tucker Carlson's Daily Caller (before I was banned). I debated Sean Hannity on FoxNews (before I was banned--seeing a pattern?) I was the paid "liberal"analyst at the uber-right-wing Sinclair Broadcast Network that owns local television stations around the country. I even wrote an expose of my experience there for the NY Times:
I work within this leviathan when it's to our advantage, but realized as our media has continued to get worse: WE. MUST. START. AND. EXPAND. OUR. OWN. CHANNELS.
This is what I am doing at Youtube. I'm nearing 10,000 subscribers in 6 months (in fact, we are at over 9,900--less than 100 way!--so if just 100 members of the Blue Amp Action community who haven't yet subscribed, subcribe, we'll reach a new plateau of 10K), and 10K is a magical number on Youtube. It's one of the plateaus where the algorithm takes you more seriously, sharing your content with similar channels, thereby helping you grow much more quickly.
I hadn't planned to do this. But I've always felt comfortable in front of a screen and have a knack for messaging. We must fight this information war on every front, so I ask that you please subscribe. I’m confident you’ll be entertained, you’ll learn some things and you’ll become fired up even more to fight for our democracy.
Thank you for being on the Blue Amp Action List, so we can fight for our democracy together. Now please do the same at the Blue Amp Channel, where it doesn't cost a cent to subscribe, and watching my videos only helps us fight and win the battles that MUST be fought.
In solidarity,
Cliff
