Tell the media: Stop Pimping Prejudice
Dear Friend,

CREDO Action (from Working Assets) is sponsoring a petition to
force the media to focus on honest journalism over prejudiced,
sensationalist punditry.

Journalists have been replaced by a punditocracy that makes its
living (and gets its kicks) by perverting our democratic
process. The misogyny that was unleashed by the media's recent
feeding frenzy on the video of an exhausted Hillary Clinton
tearing up at a small New Hampshire roundtable of voters was
just the tip of the iceberg.

Our democracy depends on an informed public. And an informed
citizenry requires a media that provokes thought, not prejudice.
Tell the major media outlets to start doing their job or our
country -- and indeed the world -- will suffer the consequences.


If you go to the URL below you can check out what is at stake
and sign the petition telling the media to stop pimping
prejudice:

1. It will not have any effect..
I talked to the publisher and editor of my local paper recently and was told that more people cancel the paper because they didn't get their Brittany fix than for lack of local coverage.
Sad.
