Subject: Help NPR beat FOX News

[JamesA1102]

In just a few days, the White House Correspondents Association will decide which news organization will be awarded the seat recently vacated by Helen Thomas. The news organizations most actively vying for the seat are FOX, NPR and Bloomberg News.

FOX News is a right-wing propaganda outlet, not a legitimate news agency. In recent weeks the network has turned the volume up on its race-baiting political agenda. The media assault on Shirley Sherrod is just a latest in a series of racist and politically motivated attacks on targets like Van Jones, ACORN, and Eric Holder's Department of Justice.

It's bad enough that we have to fight the constant smear campaigns and appeals to racial paranoia from FOX and the right-wing media. We can't let them have the best seat in the White House press briefing room and the legitimacy that it confers.

I just told the White House Correspondents Association to give the best seat in the briefing room to NPR, not FOX. I hope you will, too.

Have a look and take action at the link below.

1. I offer that DU'ers should suggest Jon Stewart or Colbert to get the seat

At least we would be guaranteed SOME bit of reality in the room. Frankly, NPR with Juan Williams and MAra Liasson is only slightly less corrupt than FOX News.

3. In my view the NPR group is more pernicious because

they pretend to be real journalists. At least Fox is right out there with their Spokesmodels.

2. Done, and done.

Credo is my cell phone co. They used to be called Working Assets. They're awesome.
