Ten things to do to promote liberal media
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/zp-heller/ten-things-you-can-do-to_b_522579.html

What's wrong with this picture? Air America vanishes into the ether, while Glenn Beck indoctrinates 2.7 million daily viewers with his histrionic brand of right-wing lunacy. Independent news agencies must continuously solicit donations from readers to stay afloat, while hate-filled shock jock Rush Limbaugh makes $50 million a year.

On the other hand, there's still a lot of great progressive media on the airwaves, including Democracy Now!, which airs on more than 800 TV and radio stations worldwide, along with radio shows by Ed Schultz and Stephanie Miller. The Nation and TheNation.com are part of a progressive journalistic community that is challenging the right in every medium. Below are ten steps you can take to help keep progressive journalism alive:

 1 Check it. Media Matters and Fairness & Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR) have been dogged in holding Fox News accountable for spewing gross misinformation on a near daily basis. Get the facts about how Fox's right-wing agenda still oozes on the air, even when Beck, O'Reilly and Hannity aren't on-screen. Go to mediamatters.org and fair.org.

1. If you have DISH FreespeechTV is one of the best channels they offer
Channel 9415. It carries Flander, DemocracyNow and Thom Hartmann.

Another thing that is pending is Low Pwer FM (LPFM) It passed the House last all only to get stuck in the mess in the senate.
Get a group together and explore LPFM for your area.
