Debunking misinformation is well and good (I did it for over a decade). But making noise is worthwhile and necessary.
The liberal dream is were going to fact check right wing lies into oblivion or somehow bring back the fairness doctrine and I'm here to tell you neither thing is happening and probably wouldn't work anyway.
Let's just say when were in a media environment where Republicans and conservatives have to respond to a barrage of negative stories about them we'll be in a better place. And this will not come from the party or the commanding heights.
For my money, progressives are too dependent/reliant on the party to come up with these solutions especially for long term problems like this. The party follows, it rarely leads.
The playbook is there. Just have to be willing to use it. Right now liberals act like if you use it you magically turn evil. I personally find that mindset stupid and naive.
This is part of it too.
