Should we start a write in campaign to MSNBC and others?
Starting with MSNBC and Luntz being the sole pollster. CNN and the selective broadcast of the news showing Bush in a good light. Perhaps FAUX also but these repukes would send everything to the recycle bin anyway.

Maybe a bit of a rant but we need to do something. We can't sit back this entire election and do nill about what is going on.

1. check out this Eric Alterman thread
Some of have written MSNBC asking that Eric Alterman host a show.


This is from another thread:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=782436&mesg_id=782436


---------------------
I was over at Alterman\'s blog , and he wrote about an exchange between the NBC president and him. FYI, MSNBC cancelled Buchanan & Press and is also changing its lineup. Eric told him that he would do a show on MSNBC for a really cheap price. This is pretty much pro-bono on his part.

The NBC president seemed a little hesitant. That is where we come in. Let's help him change his mind about this. Send him an e-mail here:

NEWS CHIEF Neil Shapiro
Direct line: 212.664.4773.
fax: 212.664.2264 neal.shapiro@nbc.com

3. No, cuz it won't help!
What could work, would be to get about five hundred folks to hang around MSNBC studio for days on end and bring it to the attention of FOX News and CNN.

4. It would work
I understand your idea but most of us don't live within distance of MSNBC studio. At least by writing, folks can still do some good with endless letters showing up to MSNBC or CNN. Eventually, it will have to be noticed.

Are you willing to just to sit back and talk about whats going on here at DU only? Do you think by addressing the media outlet responsible for this bias is a more productive solution?
