Blue Dots in a Red Sea (Ep. 8)

Start Your Own Local Online Paper
49

Local journalism in the United States is virtually dead. And when there's no free press, eventually there'll be no democracy. And if you live in a red state, it's even worse. 

If you live in any red area, you can almost guarantee there is no journalistic watchdog keeping an eye on the local men with the money and the power. What better project for your new Blue group to do than to start up your own online local "newspaper." A little bit of reporting goes a long way, and it's a great place to share your opinions and to explain our agenda. This endeavor can be your public Voice. 

Even if it's just a few of you, your neighbors will be happy to have a place to go where they can read about what's really happening in your town.

I did a similar thing when I was twenty and a few friends and I started The Flint Voice.

Listen and share.

** In order to have a troll-free, hate-free comments section — and because if there’s one thing I know about my crazy haters, they would rather spend an eternity in hell with Marjorie Taylor Greene than send me $5 if forced to become a paid subscriber — my Comments section here on my Substack is limited to paid subscribers. But, not to worry — anyone can send me their comments, opinions and thoughts by writing to me at mike@michaelmoore.com. I read every one of them, though obviously I can’t respond to all. And every few weeks or so I share them publicly here on Substack and on my podcast so that your voice is heard by the multitudes in this wonderful community of readers and listeners. The solution here is not optimal but it has worked and my Comments section has become a great meeting place for people wanting to discuss the ideas and issues I raise here. There is debate and disagreement, but it is refreshing to have it done with respect and civility, unfettered by the stench of bigotry and Q-anon insanity.
