New to me; "Adopt a Journalist." Just finished "Attack Poodles

[blondeatlast]

and Other Media Mutants" and while Wolcutt has several terrific ideas for shooting some spine back into the press, this seems to me a slam-dunk for DU.

Has anyone done this?

Is anyone interested?

If it's new to DU, who should we pick?

Here's a nice overview: http://pjnet.org/weblogs/pjnettoday/archives/000084.html

Thanks--I really like this idea; we've already shown we can do the online research, and ultra-fast, too.

3. While we are at it

The whole Rather story is a smoke screen for Iraq. While we are at it
why don't we get the independent panel going on Novak and the outed CIA agent NOW NOW. Those is glass houses shall not administer stones. The nerve of Novak to bash Kerry when he is the most unpatriotic persons on CNN. The panel on Novak is going but not really going. The man should be in jail if he were not in media he would be. And why we are at it why not set up a panel for swift boat and the Dean scream that is tampering with the federal election if I ever did see it. Creating stories to effect the election and popularity polls. Who is really at fault is Republicans. Remember that whole media consolidation that Bush let go ahead before the election. One of the biggest outrages of the year and Bush did not do a thing. He is in the pocket of big business. The Democrats fought to stop this consolidation but the Republicans would not have none before the election. Bush is accountable for this media blitz. While we are at it lets set an panel for Heraldo Rivera giving troop locations in the Iraq war. Bush does not care about the public request he makes a poor mistake the media ownership should prove this. The nerve of the media to ride along in the Iraq war and give away troop locations where is the outrage?

4. The republicans did it first

The Republicans are the worst ones to leak stuff look at the outed CIA agent. If Bush sanitized his military records the doccuments would be retyped on a modern computer -hello.
