DUer's - Please help us defend against the corporate media ripping us off

[moderateindependent]

Finally, the corporate press has started running the story we at The Moderate Independent broke some months ago about Schwarzenegger and the carrot video, Carnival In Rio. Women are marching in the street in protest, and CNN called us for the details, and others are following.

HOWEVER, the San Francisco Chronicle used both a photo we created for our site from the video and a quote and didn't even mention that they got it from our site.

So, please let the rip-off reporters at the San Francisco Chronicle know that there are those of us who won't stand up for the corporate press ripping off true, straight-forward news sources like The Moderate Independent without giving proper credit by sending them an e-mail telling them what you think about such rip-offs.

If you are unfamiliar with the story about Schwarzenegger or the San Fran article that uses our stuff without credit, we have a summary with all the info and photos and links - and the e-mail addresses of the people who wrote the story for the Chronicle - at http://www.moderateindependent.com/v1i10atlast.htm .

Many thanks to all who will help put these people in their place and on notice - that we have many more news choices than just the corporate press, and that they better be treated with professional respect.

The staff at The Moderate Independent
