On DAILY KOS: "Boycott Advertisers in the Washington Post"
Remember what we did to Sinclair Broadcasting before the election when they wanted to run the Swift Boat Liars Special? We can and must do it again to the Washington Post because articles like Millbank's are the equivalent of the Swift Boat Liars. We only need to target one media outlet and the rest will get the message that they can and will be next.
The manner in which the Washington Post treated Congressman Conyers' Hearing on the Downing Street Minutes is indicative of the censorship in the lying, biased, corporate owned media. (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/06/16/AR2005061601570.html).and it's time we tell them we're not taking it anymore.

Let the Post know when they treat us with contempt, and disrespect our country, our congress, and our democracy, lying and shilling for the bush administration, we will do something about it and we do mean business.

2. Excellent.


"... we sent our young people into harm's way without leveling with the American people." - Congresswoman Pelosi before Congress, 16 June 2005



Peace.


www.missionnotaccomplished.us - Impeachment of Bush and Cheney; indictment and prosecution of all members of the Bush regime who participated in the deception, should be campaign promises of any candidate worthy of our vote in the 2006 Congressional elections.

6. Jeez
It was one OPINION COLUMN. The ombudsman already said he went overboard. Christ, if we boycotted every advertiser who ever advertised in any media that printed one thuggish thing, we'd all be living in caves sewing deerskin shoes.

Save it for the real bad guys.

8. I think Millbank has been generally anti-Admimistration over the years
I know he is considered the devil by Republicans in DC. I'm not sure if one questionable column on an odd activity is worth throwing him overboard.
