Why not contact CNN, suggesting that they take a look at the New York Times article to see an example of what journalism is supposed to be, and informing them that thousands of viewers, now that there seems to be an alternative cable news source other than Fox, will be clicking their remotes to MSNBC for good.

1. Great job

Thank you for posting these addresses and links. I hope everyone takes a moment to send and e-mail to at least one of these people. It can't be anymore effort than posting a long rant about how terrible the media is.

My e-mail to Wolf Blitzer is on it's way.

2. Done to NYT. F CNN. I've written those

assholes too many times. Thanks for the post, though.

3. Really great post

DU'ers should stop and appreciate whats happened the last 48 hours. The print media actually did some digging and exposed an obvious lie.

It is a miracle.
