Solutions: How to fix the problem

"A society whose citizens refuse to see and investigate the facts, who refuse to believe that their government and their media will routinely lie to them and fabricate a reality contrary to verifiable facts, is a society that chooses and deserves the Police State Dictatorship it's going to get." 


- Ian Williams Goddard

Seymour Hersh explains how to fix journalism, saying press should 'fire 90% of editors and promote ones you can't control'


close down the news bureaus of NBC and ABC, sack 90% of editors in publishing and get back to the fundamental job of journalists which, he says, is to be an outsider.


He is angry about the timidity of journalists in America, their failure to challenge the White House and be an unpopular messenger of truth.


Noam Chomsky has advocated that citizens undertake a "course of intellectual self-defence'' to arm themselves against the one-sided view of the world that is presented to them through the media.

Protesters should make their own media and not rely on mainstream media to cover them.
