How to beat the Leftist Mainstream Media ?

You may not like his politics, you may not like his ethics but you cannot question his success in defying conventional political wisdom nor can you deny him his showmanship.
The New York Times Magazine has an excellent view of the phenomenon called Rush Limbaugh.
Often the question is posed on how the leftist bias in the mainstream […]

GP,

Indian public is much more to the left than American. Indian economic break down also shows more poor and small middle class.  naturally slightly left leaning news reporting is to be expected. 

Some one like Rush Limbaugh will be eaten alive in Indian media. 

BUt Rush Limbaugh is a terrible model to emulate. He is simply a liar and peddles pure nonsense and hides from real difficult questioning.  His audience is motivated right wing.  

Indian model should be Arun Shourie and Ramnath Goenka.

Arun Shourie was an arm chair leftist, Ramnath Goenka wanted publicity ..both did very little to stand up to what they beleived in, they id not give a good fight, they could not , in fact.

For the amount of lies that are being passed up on the other side, anything is good.

Gentlemen like shourie cannot connect to the Raw earthly village men/women.

We certainly need some nationalist & even rightist media folks.
If they play their cards right, they might succeed in moulding public
opinion in 10-15 years.  The way to do that, is to fund the journalism/political science education
of nationalist minded bright lads, give them scholarships, so that they make a difference later in life.
I strongly believe this should include people from all religions, sikhs, buddhists, parsis, along with Hindus, christians and muslims.

The idea should be to
a) Work for real ways to destory casteism For example agitate for making it mandatory not to ask for one caste
   in normal dialogue, ask for surnames to be dropped etc.
b) Be a watchguard against denigration to Hindus and any other communities.  
c) Expose the genocide being committed on Hindus & Sikhs and educate the public about the history of genocide on Hindus & Sikhs, which the government seeks to whitewash
d) Keep true secularism as the real goal and expose pseudo-seculars.
e) Work tirelessly to correct education system, to remove all the leftist bias
g) Maintain a secularism watchlist of neighbouring countries around India and expose incidents
   that happens there on a day by day basis. Force Indian gov. to maintain a secularism watchlist
   and use it as a one of the inputs for foreign policy.
f) Expose communal moves by Congress/leftists and others.
h) prevent ideas like anti-semitism from taking roots in India. Offlate I have started seeing Indian
    muslims take pan-Islamist causes. Break this and mould their opinion on what is good for their future
    and India's future.
i) Release periodic opinion polls that support true secularism.
j) Fight for persecuted Vaishnavite monks in Assam and Border districts of  Bengal /Tripura.
k) Expose people like YSR who seek to denigrate Hindus in AP.

May be there are more., that I cannot think off at the moment. .

Mix a-k with sound advice on economic development & entertainmen programmes,
which should be major goal of media.  This provdes the pull factor to get people to listen

It is extremely important that this extends to the judiciary, even there we need some
nationalist folks, to fight & regulate, elements pandering to Islamic  Fundamentalism

we need fearless activists which is a bygone myth, I have seen real activists who sincerely beleive in their values and they are fearless even when timed with death.

 

But today all of us have compromised with teh situation that poverty is a greater issue than moralities, so, we don't have a voice.
