Documenting and responding to media bias and lies
Posted: Thu Jan 17, 2013 8:52 pm
I don't have time to do one more thing, but I have an idea that needs to be pursued. I've watched the 6:00pm CBS news the last two days and it was infuriating. The blatant emotional ploy and outright lies and half-truths are part of the long-term cultural war the media is helping the Obama-Bloomberg Coalition (OBC) wage.
I am revamping the Texas Firearms Coalition website and I want to have a section on Media Bias and Lies. I envision this to include documentation of specific reports and how they are misleading, out right false, or designed purely to promote an emotional response. We would then publicize these facts. We also need to track each and every sponsor advertising during those newscasts so complaint letters and emails can be sent. There would be an automated system set up so people could fill in their name and email address and the sponsor emails would go out. I would like to have literally thousands of complaint emails go out every single day that one of the three major networks broadcasts this garbage. The networks won't care, but their sponsors will.
I'll set it up, but I don't have the time to watch the newscasts and capture the data. If we have enough volunteers to monitor these broadcasts, I'll add it to the new TFC website and we will turn up the heat on these lying dogs.
This is the type of activity we can do to help thwart the OBC, so please step up and help if you can. It would help if we could get dozens of volunteers so no one would have to watch and document more than one or two newscasts each month. (There are only 15 weekday evening newscasts with the three major networks.)
Let me know if you can help.
Thanks,
Chas.
