The real complaint must go to governments. All three levels still use X for announcements, which is one of the reasons J's can't leave. All 3 levels have been taken over by <rant>communications departments, who are Bad Things that filter and limit communications, even limit language that can be used, literally Orwellian institutions</rant>.
The Communications Departments should be the ones attacked. The journalistic tendency is to go right up to the Minister, whereupon you are filtered by the Communications Department. Ask for an interview about X with the head of the Communications Department. Pick from departments and levels of government at random, but I think a really fun campaign could be lightly organized, to have many journalists and "citizen journalists", all calling governments about "their support for X and why are they helping it", the same news cycle.
