D.C. Chapter and Accuracy in Media to Hold RatherGate Protest at CBS News D.C. Bureau 9/21/04
D.C. Chapter ^ | Friday, September 17, 2004 | Kristinn

Posted on 09/17/2004 2:04:33 PM PDT by kristinn

The D.C. Chapter of Free Republic invites all FReepers and lurkers in good standing to join us outside the Washington, D.C. bureau of CBS News as we stand with our friends Accuracy in Media to call for CBS to come cleIY @ over the forged documents story.

We will be urging the firing of CBS News President Andrew Heyward, anchor Dan Rather and producer Mary Mapes for their gross irresponsibility in foisting the forged Texas Air National Guard documents on the American people.

Accuracy in Media and the D.C. Chapter held a similar demonstration last year at the New York Times' D.C. bureau in the wake of the Jayson Blair scandal where we called for the firing of Howell Raines.

When: Tuesday, September 21, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Where: The sidewalk in front of CBS News, 2020 M Street, NW, Washington, D.C.

Bring: Signs bearing messages calling for the firing of Heyward, Rather and Mapes, as well as signs pointing out CBS' record of outrageously biased reporting.

This is a permitted demonstration.

As always, the D.C. Chapter's rules for protesting will be in effect. Briefly, they are: No violence, no profanity, no racism, no provocations, obey the law and treat all law enforcement officers with respect.

Please note: This is a non-political protest. Do not bring or wear any material advocating for or against any political candidate.

Hope all is well. Things are great on my end. Joe (MCM)

Yep. Let me join you in that. My hope is the the sheeple lose their taste for his brand of sleaze-TV, and that eventually good ol' Les sincerely regrets that he didn't study harder in college, get into med school (or was it dent school?), and then try to do some good in the world....

LOL...I think we now have seen behind the screen into the heart of the major networks. I have not seen such a creaky, anitquated, divorced from reality operation since I saw The Last Emperor.

my tagline would make a nice sign....

At CBS - "We don't just report news - we make it - up."

Yes, it is a very good sign idea.

Unfortunately for me, I have a day job.

I'm happy that others will be able to FReep CBiaS.

You da man.

Rather is speaking or giving an award on Oct 4 in Manhattan.

I'd like to organize something on this.

Any help or suggestions or contacts would be greatly appreciated.
