Just spoke with a lady at Alex Wallau's office, she said the drudge excerpt was somewhat misleading. Ask me to read the entire memo which was now posted.

I told her I had and I had seen a copy of the memo itself. Ask her if it was real. Told her the language was damning and incredibly biased.

They took my name and number.

r, Halperin is responsible for the planning and editorial content of all political news on the network.

Sounds like a "Big Cheese" to me.

I posted the master list to media contacts in its own thread - however, you have to go to post #7 to see it in readable format - I messed up and asked the mods to erase the original so as not to take up space and cause headaches.

Just a quick grab but it gives a little Bio.

I hate to say this, but I get the feeling that the fix is in.

So, now, more than ever, we must bind together and get the real deal out.

We need a massive emailing campaign to everyone we know filling in the details. I have been undertaking my Email Jihad, but I think that we need to take it up a notch.

I propose that we create a set of small HTML files that we can attach to emails (like I have been doing in my Email Jihad effort). I can post a web page where everyone can download the files and then attach to emails to send to your address book. Maybe it can spread around and get the facts out.

What think?

The media is biased, we all know this. We can't seem to do anything about it other than hope the rest of America finds out someday they are being lied to.

no Mark Helperin

Oh. So, the difference is one letter.

Mark Helperin is an outstanding writer and a good Republican.

He did that on purpose. The scan quality was poor to protect his source.
