I thought this should be reposted - it is an interesting post from the prior posting in DU-Editorial on this topic.

First there needs to be an organization to do it. You need to put together an organization on the election fraud issue, initially on the web, widely disseminating your clickable website, to pressure the media ON THIS ISSUE. This group needs to get going in a matter of days to make a difference. They should focus VERY HOT attention on the 'progressive' bloggers who have been dragging their feet. Postings on sites or communications to and about these bloggers -- including spinsanity, Eschaton, and Talking Points Memo, but also Media Matters & MichaelMoore.com would be a start. There are also less obvious sites, like OpenDemocracy and Emerging Democratic Majority to post. The media issue people would focus also on letters ABOUT the media lockdown naming issues and newspapers in letters to the editor of LOCAL newspapers across the country, and try to gather together email lists for letters to the editor in newspapers where they are more than likely to be printed. Unfortunately local papers are often VERY SLOW about printing letters. There could also branch out into PROTESTS -- focused on MAJOR MEDIA, including the NY Times, and others who have been burying this story. PUT MAXIMUM pressure on PUBLIC radio, like NPR, as they really should pay FULL attention to this issue, including the issue of the MEDIA LOCKDOWN. calls into radio stations could request programs specifically devoted to election fraud issue, and specifically devoted to media lockdown of this issue. There is apparently MORE coverage of this issue, ironically, in the MSM in Britain and Canada than in the US. This is bizarre. Sure the mass media are just a machine for justifying the lying, but I haven't seen them so systematically BURY such an active story with so many people talking about it and so many REAL stories breaking regularly. Trying to get international media to focus coverage on media lockdown in US would be a good idea. If people or groups with money support this, they could do more, like buying FULL PAGE ADS in the NY Times, highlighting media lockdown issue IN THE NEW YORK TIMES ITSELF and elsewhere.
These methods would be a start
