Couldn't we - shouldn't we - start a weekly email campaign to news outlets to TALK ABOUT THE ISSUES!
I know from years of experience here at DU that when we really focus our energy we can be pretty powerful.

Maybe the concept would spread to other activist sites.

And maybe this is a topic for the DU Activist Corp.

But can't we demand our news programs

TALK ABOUT THE ISSUES!

TALK ABOUT THE ISSUES!

TALK ABOUT THE ISSUES!

1. I don't think it would help. Their idea of "talking about issues" is repeating neocon catch-phrases
w/o fact checking or even, at times, w/o naming sources.

4. But that's what we'd be trying to change with our input. It's well past time we were heard.

2. Agreed. Letters first, phone calls next, emails last.
They disregard emails almost entirely.

3. Resounding Yes! Is the DU action corps still active?
