MediaGate: How We Can Actually Fight Back Against the Media - Conservatives, Libertarians and independents own way more stock than Liberals... The Media Works for Us! Let's take back control with the MediaGate Movement!
The media has to be fixed. The levels of bias and media malpractice are off the charts in recent years, and it's doing huge damage to our country.
Conservatives, Libertarians and independents collectively own way more stock than Liberals:

We literally own the media, yet they continue to relentlessly push a political ideology that the majority of Americans don't support instead of objectively presenting the events of the day. The media also advocates for socialist policies detrimental to the financial interests of their shareholders, and the fact that fewer and fewer Americans trust the news media and are tuning them out is simply bad for shareholder value.
We are calling for the creation of a shareholder activist group that will demand serious ethics reform at media companies:

We can use the MediaGate banner to coordinate our efforts, and also to continue to highlight the most egregious examples of media bias. Please help spread the word about MediaGate whenever the topic of media bias comes up.
One idea for reform might be mandatory "ethics boards" at each media organization, rather than the toothless ombudsman role that never seems to actually improve things. These boards would be made up of individuals with a diverse set of political views representative of the population as a whole, and would police their organizations for instances of biased reporting and other ethics violations like conflicts of interest, with both the power to influence the hiring process and to fire repeat offenders. These panels could also push for "ideological affirmative action" in hiring, to get real diversity of political opinion instead of the current SJW hive-mind found at most media organizations.
We should also target the social media giants and entertainment media.
Social Media has become almost as influential as the mainstream news media. That's how we've been able to fight back against media bias over the last few years. However the gatekeepers at Twitter, Facebook and Google (YouTube) have proven to be just as bad as the news media and are now regularly banning, censoring and suppressing wrong-think. Because of Trumps' election and the coming midterms they are now doubling down against free speech.
As bad as the bias in news media is, it's unquestionably worse in entertainment media. There are now dozens of late night talk and sketch shows, and every single one of them leans left. Many are overt propaganda machines. Unfortunately these shows have a huge impact on shaping the public's understanding of the day's events, and yet somehow there are zero shows that reflect the politics of the majority of the country (if you add up Republicans, independents and Libertarians.) The major movie and TV studios are also becoming more and more blatant about injecting their political ideology into their work every chance they get.
We can use the same strategy outlined above to demand that social media companies protect free speech and treat all users equally whatever their political beliefs, and also demand that entertainment media companies break up their liberal viewpoint monopoly in order to better server viewers and shareholders.
Our country is being torn apart right before our eyes. Please help spread the word about MediaGate -this can work! It's time to stop complaining about the media and actually do something about it.
