I have been seriously thinking of taking it up as a personal cross to contact every TV news director in the country and furnish them with the devastating Harper's Magazine piece on this man who has made a personal fortune from calling other people racists.
Media in general, but especially local TV stations, need to be monitored and called on it (in a constructive way) every time that they parrott one of his news releases as though it had some moral authority. And they do it ALL the time. Networks, too, even FOX.
(If anyone doesn't know, Dees runs the highly profitable Southern Poverty Law Center. He has been completely discredited by Harpers and other serious media but is still widely treated as a civil rights saint.)
Unfortunately they won't listen. Everytime I hear a news report quoting Morris, I send the Harper's article to them immediately. Would be interesting to revisit that article and see if it could be updated (maybe even have a separate side article on Heidi Beyr--ich).
