Poll question: How do YOU complain about rightwing media coverage? POLL
How do you complain about the rightwing news media bias on both national and local tv and radio? Do you take any kind of action, if you are unhappy about the conservative slant of such stations as Fox, CNN, MSNBC, etc?

I was thinking that perhaps not ENOUGH of us actually take ACTION.

A friend of mine who works at a tv station in town says that the station actually does pay attention to the phone calls they get that complain about certain things and they take immediate action at the station if even a few calls come in.

Maybe we need to start to absolutely FLOOD these stations with demands for more liberal news coverage, despite the fact that the rw lies and says the media is liberal when they know it is not.

3. I write to those in media fighting the good fight, and every couple months
I write to each and every CNN anchor to bitch them out. For not doing their jobs, screwing the American public, undermining democracy, not doing their jobs. In the subject field I write, "Do your job." Sadly, I have not yet gotten any responses.

4. Where were you the last five years?
Edited on Thu Oct-27-05 10:12 PM by Cleita
I was writing letters daily to CNN about the biased coverage and then one day I woke up and realized they didn't give a F***. So I turned them off and that's where it remains.
