WHERE THE F*** IS THE MEDIA?!?!?

See, my Dad was a documentary filmaker, photo-journalist, essayist and (his main claim to fame) "morning man" in radio. I am quite sure his ashes are flickering over the way the media has made themselves the doormat of this Administration. They are so desperate to keep a foot in the door of this tight-lipped White House that they'll...well they'll retract stories.

I was apalled to learn of Newsweek's retracting their controversial story about soldiers desecrating a Koran at Abu Ghraib prison. They essentially gave the White House and conservative Republicans a gift yesterday, as now they can say that it's the media that's causing violence and ill will over in Iraq and Afghanistan and making us look bad over there. And to the muslims, we look like we're just covering our ass.

Thank God for Bill Moyers. I'm sure you all have heard about his brilliant speech on Sunday, but if you haven't and have not recieved a copy from Sonia, here's a transcript.

I suggest sending a note to your local media outlet as well as the major networks and your local paper and ask them WHY they can't seem to get it together and tell the truth about this administration...or are they worried about, if a story leads to impeachment, we could suddenly have President Cheney?

I have to keep it short today as I have a rehearsal this afternoon, but I had to say SOMETHING...

As do YOU so KEEP E_MAILING!!! E-mail, call, write, fax your friends and family, the press, and your Congressfolk and let them know that you are indeed PAYING ATTENTION and are wondering why they are not! And as always, pass it on, pass it on, pass it on!

Peace --Alex

PS. Must mention the POSITIVES:

*AIDS Walk New York had another record turn out raising of funds!!

*Barbara Boxer has said she will put a hold on the Bolton nomination and Joe Biden has said thatif they do not get the information during the time of her hold, he will put another hold on the vote. Let them know you appreciate that.
