Scott Walker's survival in Wisconsin is a huge blow to many. But after reading many of the comments here, I'm noticing a pattern.
Now I'm not the most eloquent writer or speaker by a long shot, but I've got to say this. Simply, it's time we go after the heart of the beast, Fox News. We all know it's a problem, and we all complain about it, but so far I know of no organized effort to neuter that Noise which is the Fox propaganda machine.
We know it's propaganda, and I'm sure that many of us have had opportunities to ask businesses and restaurants to change the channel when it's on. But we are thinking TOO SMALL here. We've got to come up with the silver bullet, the stake in the heart that will kill the vampire that is sucking the very democracy out of our country.
Right now, I'm too shocked to come up with ideas, but I'm putting this out there so that we can discuss this. We need to do this.
Think about it. Everything that is damaging our democracy can be directly traced to the propaganda machine of Fox. We've been fighting the symptoms, when we should be fighting the disease.
I just got a great PET scan after being diagnosed with Stage IV breast cancer last year. I'm sure that the great treatment I got had a lot to do with it. The treatment was targeted to the disease. Before my diagnosis, I told my doctor that I was horribly fatigued. She could have told me to get more sleep. When we found the lump, well, how about just getting a different bra? See what I'm getting at here?
No, we attacked the disease. The doctors figured out where it was, and decided how to attack it. I also attacked it with the power of my mind, through meditation and above all, perseverance.
We know what the disease is. We know where it is. We have the perseverance. We have many tools at our disposal. All we have to do is come up with a targeted therapy to get rid of the cancer that is Fox.
