The one mentioned: figure out a way to get the established media/press to do their job. That is, in fact, a real choice for action and it should be pursued. But, there are two additional choices: (1) work hard to support/promote new voices in an effort to take market share away from the established media; and, (2) work hard to support/promote new voices who, through joint ventures and other ways, work together with established media. Any reasonable interpretation of industrial history suggests we live in a time when each of these additional choices are ripe for success. The question, though, is this: will new voices declare themselves ready and committed to pursue these choices. Or, will the bet on our future be limited to demanding/cajoling/shaming/etc the established media to 'change'? There are three choices here; not just one.

And would have been an ideal first lady. Unfortunately, I think we could calmly suggest the media do its job from now till those galaxies mix and nothing will change. She’s right of course.
