The try to promote the failed American schtick to the unsuspecting countries particularly in eastern Europe. I wonder if the paranoid Yanks would get upset if a Voice of Europe radio frequency with all associated truths of the world were beamed into mainstream America ? Probably not, the yanks are too busy concentrating on the affairs of bimbos and losers in the entertainment world. CNN Europe is just as bad.

Just as media matters, move.org and other progressive sites will link you to a page with a form letter that you can personalize and send; as well as contact numbers to encourage a phone campaign. Also needed is a forward option so we can spread the word and amplify the movement. It is bad enough that CNN is becoming the next FOX, but now Matt Lauer on NBC. Rosie O'Donnel can only do so much to offset this administrations propaganda machine. We need to do some work ourselves and get other real patriots involved. If 200,000 people can donate money online to a presidential candidate then there must be millions of people that can put some pressure on the corporate media to report the real news in a fair and balanced way. Think Progress can help this happen in a big way. This blog could do more to organize its readers in this struggle against the corporate media.

Comment by LibStl — I've stopped watching the network completely now. Its utterly sick. I still watch the 15 seconds of what's good about CNN (Jack Cafferty) and I still watch Larry King (Sure, he's absent minded, but he's likely the only impartial interviewer left on planet Earth). I'll watch MSNBC from now on. I’ve written to CNN numerous times, mainly about Glenn Beck and his ridiculous hate-speech. Nothing has changed, nor will it.

I still watch the 15 seconds of what’s good about CNN (Jack Cafferty) and I still watch Larry King (Sure, he’s absent minded, but he’s likely the only impartial interviewer left on planet Earth).

Every speaker of the house since Foley has been scrutizined very carefully. She's become the face of the Republican-to-Democratic power shift, and will have to weigh what she says and does, as it may be manipulated by the media. I personally feel that if she's going to make trips abroad, especially to volatile areas in the world, that she should include moderate Republicans in her efforts. I think the Dems need to make an attempt to focus on policy-solution in a bipartisan way, to prove that they can rise above the petty partisan politics of Cheney and Rove, as well as prove to Americans that they are competent (by soliciting solution ideas from both parties).

When the White House gets their advice from neocons like Feith, Kristol, and Perle--can they expect things to go right? These guys have been wrong about every single foreign policy decision. It will be interesting to see what "advice" the Bush Administration gave Britain during their Iran crisis this past week.
