Forget the Anti-DU websites, move on dammit !
I stepped into those piles of cyber-doo-doo on my Yahoo'Googling adventures :scared: <---that's all I'm going to say about those Fristian Masterdebaters, ad nauseaum.

Now my concern is protecting our friends in the MSM, liberal or not, truly fair and balanced, like ARR, Jon/TDS, Keith, Ron (minus Monica Crowley), Bill Maher et al.

My contribution is a HATE Keith Olbermann/Countdown site called:

http://www.olbermannwatch.com/

I guess Keith is our friend afterall, if "hate websites" are a key !

My request for DU, is don't send "hatemail" to the corporate media, find a way to send HappyGrams to our friends and their programs.

Hope that made sense, and would probably do us all a world of mental health good to concentrate on the positive !

1. I agree turn off the ones you hate
and watch the goods ones out there! Hate mail makes them still think your watching them.

4. I'm with you
Just ignore them when they're hating you. Do something opposite. Support a left-wing organization or talk show etc. :) Oh Mr. Guy James is also asking for donations.

2. Hi, Catch -
I prefer to call mine "Gouda-grams" for my own twisted reasons. :)

Go, Keith! :loveya:

5. Hey Rev.....
We should start a positive campaign for the media! It shouldn't matter what channel, just a "thank you note" to whatever program/pundit we agree with. I think I send cyberhugs to Keith Olbermann's show daily, along with DU links that support his program.

I hear he's kicking butt now in the ratings! That's a good thing, but I won't take all the credit...heh.

3. It makes perfect sense to me. Show support by watching and
by writing thank yous and "attaboys" to the members of the media that are actually reporting the facts and are being truthful.

Don't watch the liars that make up the majority of the media.

Couldn't agree with you more! :toast:

7. Heck, not just the MSM, but the politicians and the events.
Too many whiners here for sure. Too many here don't know how to celebrate the small victories and the steps that are being taken to protect the nation. They just want to slam everyone for everything. I don't get it myself. :shrug:

To those that are willing to speak the truth and report the facts, I raise my glass :toast and promise my support. :patriot:

This thread was born from the DSCC, but probably bad timing I picked a holiday weekend to post it.

As a Countdown fan, I love numbers !

11. I don't do "hate mail" and I'll tell you why.
The individuals I would consider sending it to would only be emboldened by it.

Besides, what positive response is ever instigated by hate?

14. The opposite is a real challenge
Writing a recommendation letter is a real challenge. I recomment it,
regarding anyone you work with, or all of them, if you are quitting
a job. Write a letter that makes them feel you really noticed them,
that you really appreciated them, and that they were absolutely brilliant
and have infinite potential. Firsly, you will shock the shit out of
the individual, and as well, change the earth.
