D.C. Chapter and Accuracy in Media to Hold RatherGate Protest at CBS News D.C. Bureau 9/21/04
D.C. Chapter ^ | Friday, September 17, 2004 | Kristinn

Posted on 09/17/2004 2:04:33 PM PDT by kristinn

The D.C. Chapter of Free Republic invites all FReepers and lurkers in good standing to join us outside the Washington, D.C. bureau of CBS News as we stand with our friends Accuracy in Media to call for CBS to come cleIY @ over the forged documents story.

We will be urging the firing of CBS News President Andrew Heyward, anchor Dan Rather and producer Mary Mapes for their gross irresponsibility in foisting the forged Texas Air National Guard documents on the American people.

Accuracy in Media and the D.C. Chapter held a similar demonstration last year at the New York Times' D.C. bureau in the wake of the Jayson Blair scandal where we called for the firing of Howell Raines.

When: Tuesday, September 21, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Where: The sidewalk in front of CBS News, 2020 M Street, NW, Washington, D.C.

Bring: Signs bearing messages calling for the firing of Heyward, Rather and Mapes, as well as signs pointing out CBS' record of outrageously biased reporting.

This is a permitted demonstration.

As always, the D.C. Chapter's rules for protesting will be in effect. Briefly, they are: No violence, no profanity, no racism, no provocations, obey the law and treat all law enforcement officers with respect.

Please note: This is a non-political protest. Do not bring or wear any material advocating for or against any political candidate.

Ya know if you use the first spelling, the MSN will probably be all over it to show how "stupid" we are.

The INACURATE spelling is IMO a grate spoof on their forgery.

And get much more exposure maybe...

Just an idea, but I do love typois.

:>)

And this post would be documentation of the purposeful misspelling.

But will y'all wear pajamas, and carry laptops?

Now that is a BRILLIANT idea.

I know some stores have these plastic mock ups of some products.

It would be great to get some of these and put some twine on them and hang them around yer necks for all of the people that wear jammies to the protest.

They weigh almost nothing.

Send a FReepmail to Firebrand, the Tri state leader. She can assist.

Done

This is some kind of jounalism society. I would be a perfect opportunity to break in a new pair of pajamas

Here it is:
 
Dan Rather Among Speakers Slated for Oct. 4 Awards Dinner
 
"Radio-Television News Directors Association"
 
It doesn't get any better than that.

Let's have a sign saying "THIS SIGN IS FAKE BUT ACCURATE." Let's also have a banner featuring Rather's quote that "I think you can be an honest person and lie about any number of things."

'....Dan......perfect right where he is.......

I agree. Dan Blather and CBS have made their bias crystal clear. Hopefully, many more Americans will now understand what the MSM is really all about.

"WEAR YOUR 'JAMMIES!"

Yes!! And let the media know you'll be there!

Surely, Doc Raoul has a Dan Rather halloween mask somebody can wear while flashing double victory fingers, wearing suspenders and sporting a sign that says, "I AM NOT A CROCK!" Got to make that Nixon connection.

Yes, pajamas! And a mouse with cord worn like a necklace. Maybe there's time to have large buttons made that say, "The Pajama People" or the like.

I don't know that I like the pajama idea... It's funny to us, but I think would be counter-productive to the intent of the protest, and would just make us look like a bunch of looneys. I think it would be better to just look like you normally look... If you normally wear a suit to work, wear a suit. If you normally wear overalls to work, wear overalls. Be what you are and show the diversity of backgrounds that are indignant over Dan's and CBS's arrogance and contempt for the American Public.
