What we call the MSM is hopelessly, irrecoverably corrupt, and unfortunately obviou8sly still extremely influential, despite its collapsing business model. We all know this, and it seems to me to do little good to parse the latest replay of Frank Rich’s endless tape loop of Upper West Side condescension and contempt. The real question is how to unseat the power of the corrupt media. These people, like their ghero The One, have become very, very good at fooling the moderate American public into believeing they are not trying to destroy America. They have seized control of the “narrative.”

This, of course,is the result of the Left’s highly successful long march through the American institutions of influence: schools, universities, “news,” entertainment and fashion. These people are the 7th grade cool kids who exist only to pour contempt on all those they deem not like them. Yes, thank you, we know this. But it doesn’t help to endlessly complain about these people. It’s like complaining that the dog next door won’t stop barking. The challenge is what to do about. How can conservatives and moderates build new institutions of influence to seize the narrative back from the revolutionaries?

They control the battlefield, in fact they own the battlefield. Throwing darts isn’t having any effect. We need to redefine the battlefield, not play on theirs.
