Folks, start making sure that you send examples of media bias to all of the listed sites. If we can keep them informed and up to date, then they will help to press for more publicity on all issues media bias related.

A collaborative community can crush the old media, and the old warhorse, who's hanging on for dear life at dnCBS will not make it through this one.

Good demonstration.

I hadn't noticed before though that the P.O. Box is 34567. Now that is a real hoot!

I hope you don`t mind the link www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1213980/posts byjdluntjr entitled A Freeper Call To Arms. He calls for a list of volunteers to send e-mail barrages to newspaper editors to "get the message out".

Let me give an example. The other night there was a post about a Canton Ohio newspaper spreading the retracted story about the booing that went on at a Bush Rally when the President asked for prayers for former President Clinton. I wrote the editors and the reporter directly including the audio link. The reporter responded today and said she would correct it.

A small but significant step.

I was listening to Tony Snow's show today, and a caller had some info about this. Everytime you call them on a gaff...it strikes at the so called truthfulness of the networks. They are not about telling the truth no matter what and doing whatever it takes to get it. They have become about creating the news and calling it the truth. I remember Cronkite saying once "We will report all the news we think you should have."

WHAT ARE YOU HIDING?
WHAT IS YOUR SECRET?
WHAT DON'T YOU WANT
AMERICA AND THE PRESS TO KNOW?


E-Mail this story AND links to the media today.

John Kerry directly contributed to the lies of the anti war movement AND caused deaths and injuries
to US Military serving in Vietnam AND
directly caused deaths from injuries at home AND countless suicides because of his false testimony.

John Kerry is not fit to be elected dog catcher let alone President of the United States.
ANYONE who votes for Kerry AFTER knowing this data
is guilty of covering up John Kerry's war crimes!


John Kerry, director of the Vietnam Veterans against the War,
testified before special session the Senate Foreign Relations Committee
April 22, 1971

KERRY GAVE TESTIMONY BASED UPON FALSE INFORMATION
THAT KERRY KNEW AHEAD OF TIME TO BE FALSE!




September 6, 2004 -- **BREAKING** In Yesterday's Lies: Steve Pitkin and the Winter Soldiers, Scott Swett tells the story of a former VVAW member and participant in the Winter Soldier Investigation who states that John Kerry and others pressured him to give false testimony about American atrocities in Vietnam. After more than 33 years, Pitkin is the first Winter Soldier "witness" to file a legal affadavit regarding that event...

My name is Steve Pitkin, age 20, from Baltimore. I served with the 9th Division from May of '69 until I was airvaced in July of '69. I'll testify about the beating of civilians and enemy personnel, destruction of villages, indiscriminate use of artillery, the general racism and the attitude of the American GI toward the Vietnamese. I will also talk about some of the problems of the GIs toward one another and the hassle with officers.

-- Steve Pitkin, Winter Soldier Investigation, February 1, 1971.

they encouraged the enemy to hang on.”

I am pleased that Patterico's Pontifications is on this list. If someone could add my contact information, that would be great. I can be reached at patterico@patterico.com.

Or you can just send Freepmail to "Patterico" -- I became a member as a result of the Buckhead/TankerKC triumph.

I am especially interested in bias shown by the LA Times -- though I obviously resent and fight all media bias.

Please keep my contact info handy!
