Tell
Major Media to Stop its Deception -
Double Standards
Major media has become
so accustomed to spewing out its daily dose of biased news that
some of the most outrageous reporting seems to slide right off
the teleprompter and the printed page.
Case in point: the uproar generated over Sen. Trent Lott's
comments made during the 100th birthday celebration for retiring
Sen. Strom Thurmond, which -- despite Lott's repeated apologies
-- resulted in his forced ouster as Senate majority leader. But
what happened when Sen. Patty Murray unapologetically praised
Osama bin Laden to a group of high school students as a role
model for humanitarian aid to under-developed countries? Most of
the major media just ignored it.
The media's message to the public is clear: If you're a liberal
Democrat, you can say whatever you want, and the media will leave
you alone. But if you are a conservative Republican, watch out!
Any misstep will be taken out of context and blown out of
proportion.
Tell the networks you have had enough! Speak out against such
deception in the establishment press. Sign a petition demanding
network news and top newspapers drop their double standard.
Here's where to let your voice be heard:

But there's something even more disturbing about the fiasco over
Trent Lott. Accuracy in Media's AIM Report newsletter revealed
this was a "manufactured story, concocted with the collusion
of Democratic Party operatives and liberal special interest
groups anxious to find some issue they could use" against a
popular administration.
Stand up against such biased and bigoted reporting and be
counted. Sign a petition to the heads of ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN,
"The New York Times" and "The Washington
Post." Tell them to drop their double standards and report
the news fairly. Here's where to act:
