We need to take time to praise the media
for any accurate, heartfelt reporting they have done.

We need to heap praise on those who called Bullshit on gov't officials over the past few days.

We MUST provide them with the calls, faxes, emails and snail mail to prove that we WANT them to hold the gov't accountable.

This is very very important. Please everyone, take a minute to write at least one email.

Then, back to assisting in the recovery.

1. I dashed notes off to ....
Cooper, Cafferty, O'Brien and Jean Meserve at CNN for their honest and compassionate reporting of the situation in N.O. and other places effected by Katrina.

2. CNN minus Wolf Blitzer has been good, Geraldo & Shephard on Fox
Anderson Cooper also great. The pundits have been left in the dirt for once.

on crooks and liars.

Wow, never thought I would have respect for Geraldo and Shep, but, wow.

I was moved.

5. fine. don't.
But many of us will so that they will CONTINUE.

Make no mistake they are being buried with mail, email, faxes, and phone calls from people bitching that the media is "bashing Bush." If that's all the media hears, they'll mistakenly believe that their audience (and the recipients of their ad client's messages) want less questioning and more ass kissing.

But you do what you think is best.
