Think if this country's media had done its job, both pre-9/11/01 and after. Just think of it.

How many people would have watched WTC 7 collapse on its footprint, devastatingly, as a classic controlled demolition? How often would TV analysts have pondered that?

Would reporters have taken the magic passports at face value? And consider the FBI, recently so hugely stupid, unable even to communicate at the time between disparate offices. Would media types have wondered how this same FBI could then name the culprits in one week's time?

And what would a real media sector have done when nearly half of those very names then turned up again, attached to people who are, even today, still living?

Would a real media have allowed Rudi Giuliani to orchestrate the single largest destruction of criminal evidence in world history? It went on for months, with no oversight of any kind.

What other glaring issues would reporters have hounded the president about, again and again and again, and the VP too, at every press conference, until madness ensued, or a semblance of truth emerged? Would reporters have asked him about the pet goat story? Would anyone have asked about the missing $trillions at the Pentagon? The put-options on the airlines?

THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA FAILED EVERYONE ON THAT DAY AND THEREAFTER.

It did not do its job. It failed the whole world, and every citizen everywhere now pays the price.

Mahatma Gandhi said, "Evil can only exist as long as we support it. Withdraw support, and it must collapse." He stated this as a law of life. It rings true to me. Does it to you? Gandhi proved it.

The MSM need us, as viewers, listeners, and readers. They cannot survive without our support. We can withdraw their life support.

Again, do a thought experiment. Wouldn't this have a huge effect, if more and more people stopped supporting the MSM? What if it started as a trickle, but then gathered momentum and, over time, turned into a flood?

Here is another law: real change in society, for the better, always calls for sacrifice. Look again at Gandhi, who stated that too as a law. Look at M.L. King, at Caesar Chavez, at Nelson Mandella.

Boycotting the MSM would indeed involve sacrifice: no more NFL Live, no more news broadcasts in the car, no more front-page news, no more funnies...

But is that so bad? We can get all of this and far more on the web. Select only sources that are, at least, not against 8-11 truth.

And what will the kids watch, and do? My guess is that family life, after an awkward period, would then improve dramatically.

This revolt will work if...

1. We do it, and...
2. We publicize it, everywhere: on buttons that we wear, on T-shirts, on websites that we comment on, on posters, in letters to the editor, in conversations, everywhere.

Obviously, the MSM would not report on it. But so what? Let them miss out. Let them die out too, until and unless they begin doing their job.

Why do we here complain about the MSM, while we do nothing about it? And why should we blame our politicians? The MSM invites corruption. Politicians -- being feeble, almost by definition -- accepted their invitation.

Honestly, this one move could have a huge effect on the whole country. And on the world.

I am interested in your thoughts on this thought experiment.
