To our Congressional Dems...
STOP COWERING BEFORE THE CORPORATE MEDIA!

It makes you look like fools, and weak. They're playing you, the American People, and you're letting them get away with it.

I'm telling you--start going after THEM. Target THEM. Every time you get a microphone pointed at you, hit THEM with their hypocrisy and fear-mongering. The people already recognize it--journalists, as a group, have an approval rating on a par with the President's.

You do this, it's the first step toward breaking up the media monopolies that is contributing to the problem. Once it's in the face of the American people, the clamor will grow to an uproar and people will DEMAND something be done.

Don't shrink from it--confront it.

3. The Media really did a swiftboat job
Murtha or assisted those who started it, IMO.

As usual they felt compelled to protect Bush and
not have any Democrat who is confrontational
in a strong position to stand up to Bush.
The propaganda channel posssibly inadvertantly
gave this information as they bashed Pelosi
and Murtha.

IMO it is lower than dirty trash for persons
in either party Democratic or Republican to go
back 20 years and dredge up some past mistake
or wrongdoing. It is bad enough when one Candidate
does it against another but when the Media know
a person has been cleared and they keep repeating
the issue over and over, it is terrible. The Media
is trusted less than Used Car Salesmen according
to polls and here is an example of why.

You can count on them to bail Bush out or keep him
propped up and or protect him from confrontation.
