Oh, look. NOT on this week's agenda, Berlusconi fires Italian mnister in who printed t-shirts of mohammed cartoons, while Clinton "denounces" free speech in Pakistan. I wonder if the actions of the Black Panthers in DC will afect the msm talking heads.
One of the things I'm hoping with this thread is that we can begin to affect what the media presents on the Sunday talk shows. Not directly with my thread, but indirectly in that we'll be better armed when we analyze what the talking heads do say (or don't say) during the live thread that Alas Babylon! posts on Sunday mornings.
That thread is beginning to get some notice even within the old MSM. There are a number of media organizations that have interns and the like browsing FR for both material to steal and opportunities to attack us when we mess up. My inspiration for this thread the last few weeks was to provide a place for Freepers to prepare for the Sunday shows so that we'll be more thorough and complete in our analysis.
By and large the analysis on all of FR is spectacular. The stuff posted on the Sunday Morning live thread is some of the best, with a lot of people who have significant expertise contributing to our overall knowledge. Then there are people like me who will post things "from the hip" with the best of intentions, only to see a real good analysis by one of the "pros" here on FR and understand that what I said earlier really was off the mark. I'm really fishing for hints and tips so that post I (and amateurs like me) put up will have a better grounding in available facts.
And the inclusion of the links to contact the shows can be used to goad them about what they're leaving out, as in your case, or prompt them to ask some specific questions of the guests or on the topics that they are covering. What's surprising is that they actually seem to read that stuff and act on it (so long as we don't spam them).
Al Gores speech in Saudi? Saddam's Tape Release? Hello......anyone??? "Journalists"?
