It might be good to mention to them that deception by concealing relevant facts is a violation of this law.

At this point what we need to do is keep our eyes on how these places report. If their report is not factually correct, we need to e-mail or snail-mail letters to them so we can document that they were informed about the true facts and the need to correct their errors.
If they refuse to correct their errors we need to document it, because selectively reporting only half the story and hiding other relevant facts is a violation of the Federal General False Statement Act. We need to hold the media’s feet to the fire on this; make them report accurately, given what has already been revealed.
If we can get a bunch of people working on this end of things it will greatly help.
In fact, Lucy, can you ping everybody on this post? This will be covered in the media (hopefully) in the next couple days but today and tomorrow are my busiest days for my part-time job so I won’t be able to do a whole lot during that time. The more we can spread the news on our own AND document the media’s refusal to report all the facts, the better.
A lot of us have been saying it’s a crime what the media has been doing. Well, it literally is. We need to get cracking on letting them know we know that.
If people contact media entities, the Federal General False Statement Act is 18 U.S.C. 1001, and a description of it starts on p 15 at http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/98-808.pdf . It might be good to mention to them that deception by concealing relevant facts is a violation of this law.
