Fucking Frustrated by Corporate Media Coverage of our elections? Then Do Something!
Edited on Mon Sep-29-08 11:59 AM by FrenchieCat
Whether it is the GOP bias, sexism, racism, and just plain ol' unfair play.....give media a piece of your mind, drop a tip on a good story to our "friends", write a letter to the editor, my point is don't just get mad; do something!

5. That's it.
Cause discussing it here might make one feel better, but it ain't do a thing to stop it.

I'm exhausted by the double standards myself.

If The Republicans can lean on the Media, I'm not sure why we don't!

6. Tom Brokaw!
Shame on him for blindsiding Axelrod on MTP with those commander in chief poll numbers at the end of the segment, leaving no time for a rebuttal.

It was truly fucked up and he will be getting an e-mail. POS.

7. Thank you! I was searching for your post from the other night so I could do just that. I already
called MSNBC and "broke up with them" for showing Palin & McCain's entire rally today, through their "economic breaking news" while they showed NONE of Biden yesterday and only NINE MIN. of Obama yesterday at their joint appearance. Now I'll do the same with the other info. you posted. I'm so SICK of this!

10. What makes you think that receiving however-many messages of this sort will
affect the coverage they provide?

Until individual, specific media mouthpieces are held accountable and know that they personally will suffer consequences for what they say on the air, all the letter-writing/emails/calls will do nothing.

11. I'll do it.
Even if it just gives you the warm & fuzzies.

It's some kind of satisfaction.
