Support our troops by demanding that Peter Jennings and his fellow travelers at ABC World News Tonight drop their hideous attempts to emulate Al Jazeera.

ABC World News Tonight would like us to believe that these are just ordinary folks. How many ordinary folks do you know who feel this way? How many ordinary folks do you know who would carry a sign like this?

Sample letter - Print; Copy & Paste; or re-write in your own words. Be sure to sign, date and include your return address (or email address if emailing). Also, if you would, please cc: response@fairpress.org. This will give us some idea of our impact, as you can bet ABC News will never admit anyone complained.

Citizens Coalition for Responsible Media (CCRM) is the Free Republic Network media bias chapter. You are invited to visit our web site at www.fairpress.org.

Ping - media action Freep underway here, too.

[firebrand]

I hope this freep will not annoy WABC Radio around our area (NYC). They have been true patriots in promoting our rally here and deserve our thanks.

[spookycc]

Done. Thanks for the heads-up!

I am sorry, but I could not, in good conscience, assist you in your efforts. Instead, I e-mailed ABC, instructing them to ignore your efforts.

I had to do it.

Here is what I sent:
I have, only today, become aware of an effort by the Citizens Coalition for a Responsible Media to attempt to impact what they perceive as a decidedly anti-American tone to the news, as presented by the ABC network.

They had requested that I contact you change the way you present news to accomplish the following:

1. Reporters should seek a balance of arguments and a balance of skepticism in covering both the United States and allies and international organizations.
2. Untrustworthy enemy claims should not be given equal weight with the statements of American officials.
3. The American people deserve a fuller picture of the "peace" movement.
4. The American people deserve a fuller picture of network polls.

However, I would request that you stay the course.

Due to your undisguised slanting of all reports, in a way that denigrates the United States and/or the Bush Administration, I have already resolved to ensure that the ABC network, is never watched in our household, during any portion of the broadcast day.

I am certain that many feel as I do, and that your decisions to become a propaganda arm for anti-American interests will ultimately cause your viewership to fall precipitously. Hopefully, this will cause the bankruptcy of your corporation.

The benefit of this, of course, is that all of the stock options contained in your executives’ compensation plans will ultimately become worthless.

I desire such an outcome.

I pray that you continue exercising, to the fullest, your Freedom of the Press.

In turn, I shall exercise, to the fullest, my right to ignore your obvious propaganda, while persuading others to do the same.

So, by all means, keep Peter Jennings right where you have him, and keep your editorial focus right where it is.

Whatever you do, do not buckle to the pressures being brought by Citizens Coalition for a Responsible Media.

Sincerely,

steve in DC

Ping to here, since I know how much you and I love Peter Jennnigs and the wonderful job he is doing reporting unbiased news at ABC. < /extreme sarcasm>

[mallardx]

Here's my letter to ABC:

I was sickened to see your ABC News Broadcast Saturday night after the hockey game. Each story was more negative than the rest about the Iraq War in progress. Not only was the tone negative, it seemed ABC was earnestly trying to manipulate viewers into it's anti-American bias by portraying the mindless protests as an important issue that the President needs to address during this most serious of times. Is your entire staff committed to backstabbing our soldiers due to your liberal leanings? Is there anyone there at your staff that has enough sense to realize ABC's point of view is out of touch with mainstream America's views? Are you complletely out of touch, or venomously anti-American? Do you realize that because of your tone and bias that you will be out of the news business within two years? Do you care, or is pushing the socialist agenda your main focus?

[lilylangtree]

E-mailed. Thanks!

I cant believe that sign. I mean, I am speechless. I hope Peter Jennings is happy.
