My personal frustration with the news is that we can't get an idea into their flow. These days they're living in our world, we know a lot about it, what's possible that isn't being done. But I can't get them to listen. It's a very closed community. Huge defenses.

I suppose their view is that everyone outside their circle is a uniform mass of nasty. I know that some of them know the role I played in building the network they use. You'd think I could get an idea in there, at least in the area of my expertise. But nothing. Crickets. For many years. I can't get in there. 

I have to figure out a way to bust through this. It would work if I could get on the inside and talk from in there about how to connect better into a more varied set of people and ideas. They are dying because of all the inbred practices and all the lying. It seems it would be easy to fix.

I don't want to disrupt, I promise -- I just want to get in and influence. Or at least be listened to and get feedback. So if you know anyone in editorial at a major political news site, send them a link to this post. I just want a column, on a credible site. You don't even have to pay me. The things I write are exactly what I write here on my blog so you can get an idea. I just want to be part of the conversation. 

Another way would be to create the kind of dialog we need to liven things up. I'll have a question about that later today, with any luck.
