Democrats.com MediaWatch
By Bob Fertik and Mike Hersh, Sep 22, 2004

Challenge Pro-Republican Media Bias at Democrats.com MediaWatch! The corporate media favor Bush and the right wing, and work against liberals and Democrats. Endless unfair media attacks against the Clintons, Al Gore and now Sen. Kerry bias the political process. We don't have to take it any more, but media bias won't fix itself. We must fight back. You can help. Join the media watchdog team at one of three levels: 1. Rapid Responder - Demand fair(er) media coverage. Even if you don't have a lot of time to spare, join the Rapid Response team. We'll send you Action Items describing media bias with contact information so you can call, fax, and email to demand fair(er) coverage. 2. Media Watch Dog - Help expose and oppose media bias. If you have a few free hours a week join the Media Watch Group(s) for the outlets you know best (see below). Then submit Action Items to your group(s) for distribution to the rapid responder team. 3. Media Watch Leader - Take Charge at the highest level of Media Watch. If you have a free hour every other day you can apply to join the Leadership Team. Tell us why you want to help lead our efforts against media bias, your experience and other relevant information. We'll consider your application promptly. If accepted, you'll become a leader in the fight against media bias by moderating the groups, formulating and distributing Action Items, and more! MediaWatch is focused like a laser-beam on one task: leading "rapid response" efforts exposing and opposing media bias against Democrats. We have immediate and significant impact holding the media accountable through specific actions, not discussions. We maintain high standards for quality and accuracy as we expose and document right wing media bias, act directly against media bias, and maintain pressure to end anti-Democratic bias. Media_Watch has 3 goals: (1) document specific examples of anti-Democratic media bias, (2) take direct, immediate action to challenge anti-Democratic bias, and (3) keep up the pressure to end anti-Democratic bias There are separate Media_Watch groups for each major news organization listed below. Please click on the links to choose your PRIMARY news source, the one you know best. All Media_Watch subscribers must be approved by our moderators. After you sign up, you will be asked to introduce yourself and explain why you want to participate. Our goal is to have an immediate and significant impact. Therefore each Media_Watch group will focus on specific ACTIONS, not wide-ranging discussions. Join now.
