What's say we show our media some love today? If you can |

send them a message so that those other messages they get from those mindless types asking for coverage of the court drama de jour or whatever the hell else they would watch are drowned out. Just an idea.

1. Yeah, I just did.......... |

some wonderful person posted a great list of media contacts which you can send via bcc.
I used positive reinforcement regarding their recent coverage, and encouraged them to continue operating as the free press, as We The People are watching and able to discern truth versus spin.
I specifically asked them to cover three issues (I know, there are thousands to choose from with this criminal bunch) which the average American viewer would respond to, IMHO:
1. Bush lifting minimum wage laws in Katrina-affected regions, though not limiting profiteering.
2. The presence of Blackwater in New Orleans and their plans to expand their "compound" in Virginia.
3. HOW the death toll is being calculated. Will they be including drowning victims, those who died of dehydration, exposure, etc., once identified?

http://money.cnn.com/2005/09/08/news/economy/katrina_wages.reut/There's a link to a CNN article. I haven't seen it get TV coverage though. He can screw the workers yet doesn't limit profits by his buddies. This would infuriate most citizens....if they only knew.

Now Halliburton can charge the government outrageous prices and pay the workers below poverty wages.
Plays right along with the bu$h doctrine of creating two classes - the haves and the have nots.
