FAIR and MoveOn's Media Victories

In the last few months, small victories by Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting and MoveOn's Media Corps point to an important lesson: when journalists and media companies are held accountable by viewers and citizens, they will respond, sometimes acknowledging inaccuracies and improving their media. The political power of the internet is beginning to be realized. We just need to act in organized ways in a responsible way, and we will make a difference in the coming election.

Subject: Media Corps: Meet the Press Gets the Message

Media Corps member,

Congratulations to everyone who called or e-mailed Tim Russert this morning. After hearing from over 800 of you in a few hours, NBC's Meet the Press contacted us to discuss William Safire's untrue comments on Sunday. They got the message!

Unless you saw the show and have other concerns to address, you can refrain from calling or e-mailing Meet the Press about this issue.

Again, congratulations. This really works.

Sincerely,
--Noah T. Winer

MoveOn has started a national Media Corps, with 35,000 volunteers who monitor major newspapers and broadcasts and complain when they see bias. There is also a "Fox Watch" project, devoting special attention to the Fox News network. Noah T. Winer, who runs Media Corps from his Brooklyn apartment

"The credibility of Fox's so-called commitment to 'fair and balanced' reporting has been completely shattered," said Eli Pariser, international campaigns director for MoveOn.org, in a press release. "Brit Hume and others on his staff need to ask themselves if their job is to cover the news or make the news by orchestrating PR coups for Bush Republicans."

"acting as a partisan flak for Bush"

I thought these people were supposed to be educated...

Maybe fox could just stop showing porn. Here is a sample. Some parts aren't quite as blurred as they should be, in my opinion. WARNING ADULT MATERIAL.

'When Michael Moore was asked what surprised him most during the making of Fahrenheit 9/11, he described his discovery of archived news footage the networks had edited or not aired at all in order to protect President Bush's image.'

Ask FatMan about the footage CNN had for YEARS that could have outed the atrocities committed in Iraq by Saddam Hussein and they didn't because they didn't want to lose their buttwipe positions in the news pools...THEY SHOULD BE ARRESTED.

Isn't he the punk who O'Reilly threw off his show because of what he was saying about 9/11?

Noah T. Winer. What an appropriate name for a top member of Move on.

I can't the image of the Saturday Night Live skit about the "Whiners" out of mind.

"Yes, I want much to have party at my house." Saddam Hussein, President of Iraq.

We're using this movie to launch an organizing campaign with Common Cause and other great groups to "out" Fox News -- making sure everyone in the country knows the network is stumping for the Republican agenda.

Hmmmm...and just what agenda are these idiots stumping? I don't see how anyone can take them seriously for trying to take Fox News to task for for being biased. It never ceases to amaze me at how stupid this ilk is.
