12. fight back
• Pressure needs to be mounted and sustained, continuously and
relentlessly, on broadcast media, which gets easily distracted
by shiny ratings.
• Boycotts are truly effective. In general, email campaigns, using
social media to get factual information out—even when it feels
as if it’s falling on deaf ears beneath the cacophony of junk—all
of it helps.
• Mass complaints to Facebook, Twitter, Google, or other social
media.
• Remind acquaintances (online and off) that they should never
tweet, re-tweet, or share stories from unknown sources.
• Subscribe to responsible newspapers and newsmagazines
