Rubbing the media's nose in Bush

Media

Boy, if that doesn't sound unpleasant... anyway.

Desi points out several online efforts to nag the media into noticing the wee matter of the Downing Street Memo which proves Bush lied us into war, to wit:

The Big Brass Alliance, a group of bloggers who support AfterDowningStreet.org, a coalition of peace, veterans, and activist groups, who in turn are hoping you'll sign Congressman John Conyers' open letter to President Bush demanding answers. All of which we can then pester the media about, with a bit of focus and direction provided if you like by Awaken The Mainstream Media over at Kos.

The "Smoking Memo" surfaced over a month ago and immediately became a major story in the UK and around the world, but the U.S. press is content to blither about runaway brides and Gallagher slapping a guy.

We really can change that. Remember Sinclair? Last year, public pressure got an explicitly Sith broadcaster to drop most of a "news" program they really, really wanted to air. So imagine what a little organization on our part might accomplish with folks like CNN who only follow the smell of popular appeal.

The revolution will not be televised... unless we absolutely insist on it.
