News Print and TV Coverage in IL protects Hastert

[Monkeyman]

Every newspapers and TV news is saying Hastert did nothing wrong. John Laesch had a blep on ABC 7 news in Chicago but thats it. Hastert seems like he will walk away from this. Hell he knew but like always Replugs get away with it.

1. Where's Larry Flynt when you need him?

It would be priceless if he were able to assist in the takedown of yet another corrupt GOP House Leader.

14. Larry Who?

Why, the MSM hasn't covered anything he's done in years, have they?

2. Post links to IL media

and ask DUers to phone and email. That might get their attention.

5. Please Post - I'll email/write, I'm in Hastert's district

6. I don't live in IL

Someone who lives there should do this.

7. Heres a link to all IL. Papers

www.DNC.ORG

Look under action put in this zip code on letters to editors 60561. We need to bring the public the tryth news here will not Sun Times, Chicago Trinbune, Beacon, Herald and Southtown . They all will be on the DNC site thanks. Link to papers here don't seem to work

11. Be sure to select, "More Papers in my area"

To get the Beacon to pull up. I used 60543, to ensure it did pop up under that option.

3. Picket his campaign Headquarters and didtrict offices with LARGE SIGNS.

And picket the news studios if they ignore that effort.

Threaten them - tell them if they won't cover the protests outside his offices, you'll take the protest to THEIR offices for COVERING UP FOR HASTERT.

4. i dunno - today's print Suntimes was pretty bleak.

His fat ugly face plastered in color, HUGE, with a supersized headline
"HASTERT CAVES"

Even the bears blowout didn't affect their coverage.

8. Did you read the whole article it protect Hastert at the end

Tribune in the swamp you can leave comments. Its his hometown papers like the Aurora Beacon defending him to the max

[ChairmanAgnostic]

13. Not surprised about the Beacon. But wait til the coverage gets worse

and the beacon finds itself under LTTE attack.
which, of course, we should be doing now.

9. From our Local Paper (Kendall County)

http://www.suburbanchicagonews.com/beaconnews/news/80005,2_1_AU02_EMAILS_S1.article

Here's the kicker (last sentance)...

The scope of the investigation, Hastert wrote, should include "any and all individuals who may have been aware of this matter ..."

10. Decatur Herald And Review (Right-wing) didn't even mention Hastert.

Not one mention, and the story was on the A-8. The last page in the A section is A-9.

12. The local papers in Hastert's district are almost entirely republican

I'll be surprised if they even print a letter to the editor about this, much less a resonable article.
