I often ponder this issue too. I'm around 40 now and feel lucky to have 'escaped' the TV-only moron mentality that even my own siblings are stuck in. Sad thing is, obviously, they do all email and most of them even have a facebook profile or something similar; it's just a tool for them to communicate though, somehow not be a place to receive their news.
The first obsticle to overcome here would have to be the comfort factor. Watching/Reading their computer monitor is not as comfy as watching their boob tube from the couch. Perhaps an ipad-like device could help with that but in general they are set in their ways and don't wish to change it. You'd have to offer them something new that really attracts them to change that.
The second obstacle is their preconceived notions about how the world works now. If you've been told that all sheep are black your life and a white sheep strolls through your front yard, the truth is 100% going to evade you. You'll think it wasn't a sheep at first, perhaps a big poodle. Then after you've seen it's hooves and heard it go 'baa' you'd think it's a sheep that someone has bleached or even a government experiement gone wrong... But convincing you that most sheep are white still just isn't possible yet. You need to see huge numbers.
The third obstacle is that they are our elders. They think that on average they're right and we're a bunch of whiny upstarts that know no better. If they weren't blatantly misled by the MSM for generations they'd have every right to think this, too.
What this situation calls for is nothing short of a total-planet Guerilla marketing campaign. One so big that the MSM can't twist the message!
I'm talking about stickers on every light post, flyers in every mailbox, graffitti everywhere, new feats in hacking, celebrity endorsements, skywriting, the whole works... If you can get a compact, efficient, and eye-opening message across to the entire planet this way, attributed to the Youth of the planet, you'd be able to bypass the MSM and give them no target but everyone's own kids as a fallguyn. (Something that every parent can't turn on.)
The message would have to be something special tho; something that says: The Media controls you and all politics. Shun TV and watch the following news sources to learn the truth about your world.
^That sucks of course, and is way too long, but you get the point. Someone needs to craft it better as a call to action.
Then there is the question of where to send them... If they're lib/progressive they should wind up on theyoungturks for sure, perhaps some subset could go to infowars, and others to RT but frankly I don't see any as good introductions to the real world... They all report their own little part of the puzzle and some dubiously of course... What we'd really want to do is install a whole network-type website to compete with CNN first that tells the damn truth for a change and send them to that... Of course there are bigger problems than money for that to happen...
The USGov would likely classify that as some sort of whistleblower organization and send the owners to jail indefinitely with no trial... So I honestly can't say what to do for that part of the puzzle.
Any ideas?
