Re: The problem is (4.00 / 3)

It's a bit contradictory, what you say. Alternative media do exist, (as per your list, and I just watched Arrêt sur images..!) But, as you say, it seems they don't have any real influence. So it seems to me there is a gap to be filled. A democracy gap, because at the moment the broader perceptions of the French are being manipulated by the MSM.

Re: The problem is (none / 1)

I'm not sure the undecided voters are more likely to be decided by blogs than by the semi-MSM media... I'm afraid those undecided voters are mostly found in the semi-informed.

At least in America with its importance of money, fundraising has a chance of making changes - but there is no such mechanism in France that grassroots could leverage.

Re: The problem is (4.00 / 5)

I don't see it as persuading the undecided or the swing voters, but creating a new medium that has influence on the rest of the media.

And that can also federate the roots and give them a fresh impulse.
