Shout out to MediaMatters and TakeBackTheMedia - Time to lead us in battle
Edited on Tue Jan-31-06 03:02 PM by blm
Most of us here know that the only reason BushInc maintains power and why his many crimes still remain unreported - Because the GOP exerts control over most broadcast media through its corporate allies and war profiteering cronies.

We are ready to take on the battle to expose that control. We need our leftleaning media, DNC spokespeople and Dem pundit class to open their eyes about this, too.

It's PAST TIME we bring democracy back to the newsrooms.

We watched how media handled the Hart-Rudman Report on Global Terror, the 9-11 Commission report, the Dean scream, the constant access for Swiftliars, changed exit poll numbers, unsecured voting machines, Downing Street Memos, 2 Dem withdrawal plans for Iraq, and Alito's procorporate rulings - smear Democrats, protect the Bushboy.

We can't bring democracy back to the Senate or Congress unless we bring it back to the newsrooms FIRST.

4. We need to get a feedback system in place...
It's a pain in the ass, but one reason they get away with their crap is that they don't get hit back by those they are punching.

It's a dirty job but we all have to do our part I guess. Maybe if we can develop a Spam-O-Matic to fill in the blanks and send when we catch Wolfie and Tweety and the otehr presstitutes making stuff up.
