Morning News about this, thanking them for telling the truth and not cowering to the bush/rove machine? How many people have tried to contact these outlets and let them know WE are out here, too, and WE are reading and making note, and WE know when we're being lied to, or when smokescreens and cover-ups and coddling and toadying are being attempted.

This is critically important because, when they DO report something adverse to bush, the Limbaugh/Pox News/GOP party machinery cranks up to call, email, fax, complain, question their patriotism, call them traitors and other nasty names, and in some cases actually threaten them.

That is why we ABSOLUTELY MUST COUNTER ALL THIS!!! We have to make sure the opposite message gets through. Because otherwise, there is INDEED a chilling effect on solid, hard-hitting reporting. We HAVE to contact these people, or their editorial boards, and demand MORE! Demand that our media be WATCHDOGS, NOT LAPDOGS! Demand that they serve as true patriots in a FREE, UNENCUMBERED exchange of information. They're supposed to be objective reporters, not embedded propaganda-pushers. They're news people, NOT PR people.
