I have noticed a troubling, growing trend of conservatives finding every way possible to take up space on broadcast television, just in the same way they have done with AM talk radio. This is partially being done with an interesting combination of Christian broadcasting and conservative political media, which opens up yet more avenues for funding right-wing media, while the left remains far behind.

– Discussion of left-wing media ecosystems and infrastructure versus the right
– How is the left really doing? Good on content, low on infrastructure
– Great examples in Means TV, Street Fight Radio, etc.

– Conservative talk radio’s prevalence
– Right-wing media taking over broadcast sub-channels
– Article on One America News Network entering over-the-air broadcast after being kicked off cable and satellite: https://www.nexttv.com/news/misinformation-finds-a-way-oan-goes-ota-re-invents-itself-as-broadcast-subchannel
– How OAN and NewsMax are staying in business
– Large Christian broadcast ownership groups buying up stations, first radio, now TV
– How conservatives seem to be using church monies to prop up right-wing media
– Christian evangelism shows funded by 501c3’s on right-wing TV networks
– Dangers of relying on digital and social media only
– Some direct response TV advertisers will buy almost any network/station with a conventional broadcast signal somewhat indiscriminately
– FCC rules are way less strict than social media platforms
– A televangelist organization that is worth almost a billion dollars
– Political content and endorsements from 501c3 televangelists
– TV channel leasing
– One example in Los Angeles of a station leasing out to conservatives is KFLA-LD channel 8. http://kfla.tv
– TikTok is a growth channel for progressive causes
– Communicating with your base and keeping them entrenched 24/7/365
– Media spend by churches on conservative stations is actually counter-productive
– How to protect your advocacy organization from social media bans
– The importance of minority-owned media and LPFMs

Fixing The Fixerpunk episodes cover ideas about changing yourself and society from my own self-development process.

In our life, we have a choice to Carry On, even as we are seen as Wayward Sons or Go To Sleep and tap out in the fight for our goals and the change we want to see in the world. I choose to Be Elite and Carry On. Hesitating in whatever you are doing can ruin both your experience and your success, but reluctance is often caused by relationships and material conditions of a punitive society without adequate social safety nets wherein minor failure results in catastrophic results one cannot recover from. We have a choice in how we structure systems, to allow failure and let people learn to fly or to force people to just give up and Go To Sleep. A progressive approach that includes systems that allow people to recover from failure enables greatness and maximizes the potential of individuals and the community as a whole. We must respect the Right To Fail.

The left has come up short in looking for answers to the likes of Andrew Tate, but pro wrestlers like Adam Page have found a way to empower young men and help them feel their strength and constructively use the warrior in them while advocating for a broad set of progressive policy ideas in a relatable way. Creating solidarity is possible and beneficial to society and to the young men that are being more harmed than helped by toxic masculinity influencers, and whose issues would be better helped by left-wing policies and workers’ rights.
