This Friday we will cover -

SPECIAL GUEST - TIM CONNER OF WWW.CAMUSMAGAZINE.COM - We are very lucky to have Tim Conner coming in studio Friday to discuss the state of the media, local and national. Tim is the creator of camusmagazine.com, a local on-line news magazine. Camas magazine has followed the stories of media local and otherwise including lengthy research on the Riverpark Square fiasco, and the Spokesman-Reviews involvement in it. We will take calls, and discuss -

"Who is killing the Newspapers" by Tim Conner

The breakdown of the economics of the media.

The influence of the internet on media and journalism.

The failure of FCC, and the dangerous concentration of media in America.

The influence of corporations and big business on media including local media.

"AMERICA HELD HOSTAGE" - Must read article by Dylan Ratigan on the state, decay, and abuse of America. Ratigan speaks the truth, unlike most of the media.

"OTHER" PARTY MEETING, Oct 20th, Tuesday, 6pm, Merlyn's, 19 W MAIN -

So we had our first meeting of the "other party". We had a small group, but an excellent discussion. It seems imperative that we focus on elections and lack of access to ballots. elections and government. For this to work, people need to leave their policy issues at home. I think part of the MSM/big two agenda is to keep people off track. But I think people get that, and we were able to really discuss ideas, problems and solutions.

PROBLEMS - Interestingly, the lack of a real MSM (main stream media) was on everyone's mind. I think it's obvious that there has been some sort of abdication of duty by the MSM. And obviously the corporate control of finances and elections thought donations and lobbiest is damaging. But is ther an actual "conspiracy"? Hard to say. The concentration of media control was also an obvious issue. Supposedly 6 media companies control 90% of the media. A TERRIBLE SITUATION! And finally, the lack of access that non D's and R's have to our system is criminal. It's certainly not how the country was created.

SOLUTIONS - The scope of the problem is gigantic. But there are some things we can do. One is to focus on what we can control. Spokane based elections are something we can spend time and energy on.

1) One idea was to spend time writing the MSM, tv and radio about coverage and access for on D/R's. Maybe they don't know how frustrating it is?

2) Focus on helping the non D/R's with whatever info/resources/time and energy available. Don't waste resources on the two big parties. They get plenty of help. And don't fall for the "spoiler" label. That's the big lie. So we need people that are wiling to support whoever, even if they are not their guy. I love the idea of helping the "process".

3) We can make great things happen using smart people and the internet. We need to get some web savy people involved and articulate the things the other parties, independents and voters need to make better choices. So if you are, or know some web/blog savy people, please contact me. We want a site with links to elections info, calendars, blogs, chats, ways for people to see the other minor parties. A "one stop shopping site for the disenfranchised.

So we will have our next meeting Tiesday, October 20th at 7pm at Merlyn's. I would LOVE to have some card carrying third party members join us and have a discussion. Tell anyone that might be interested. Pass this facebook group to any of your third party friends.

I made a facebook group, feel free to join and spread the word -

Facebook "makegovwork" group.

Our next meeting is October 20th, 7pm at Merlyn's (19 W Main).
