What I would like to see is a union of the best advocates coming together for a common cause, because remaining too independant creates a stagnation/stigma where the alternative media becomes just like the ones they are trying to expose, this is how they become like a stuck record all reporting the same thing without any uniqueness and any new ideas are then pushed back.
The same attributes were seen in Plato's time as well, its all been done before, there ain't nothing new under the same sun as yesteryear.
The are some good writers and researchers who are bringing new conjecture to the front line who are part of their own forums but they never get a look in, this is very wasteful in my eyes, but things might have to change to make the alternative news worth watching and listening to, no single alternative has it all.
Great points from both Jeff and The Apprentice.
I mentioned in a previous post about the real alternative media sticking together for the greater cause, rather than fragmenting it into lots of small groups which ultimately has less impact. To slag off other alternative journalists who may have put in endless hours of research, just because they don't agree with them is a little bit hypocritical when they keep harping on about free speech. Sometimes I think it is a bit of an ego thing.
You are correct when you say that David doesn't resort to that and I think that he understands the need for the alternative media to be united if we are to win this perception battle
