1. I've dedicated 2 blog entries to the CNN initiative today.

I posted the contact info, the CNN board members' campaign contribution info, the major sponsors info, the Judy Woodruff sleazy questioning example, and the text of my every-hour-on-the-hour email message.

11. This is FUN!

Now that I'm bookmarked CNN's contact page, I find that I'm putting my 2 cents in at least once an hour.....sometimes more!

12. As you watch -- a running commentary! LOL!

[Bluzmann57]

13. Is it over?

Its 3:00 central time, so I guess the official email campaign is done. I just sent out a last stray email to some exec at CNN. Hope this does some good, but I am doubtful. If not, we need to keep hammering them. Great idea!

16. Slated to end at 4, but folks seem to be still going strong -- why not...

keep it goin!


THANKS, everybody!!!

14. heard this weekend how much CNN HATES to get picketed at the office

in Atlanta. I hope lots of DUers in the neighborhood will go in person to the various CNN studios and picket them.

I also would like to see DUers who are in the area of various media circuses (i.e., the Santa Barabara Courthouse for MJ, the Eagle County Courthouse for Kobe) and try to get into their camera crowdshots and standups with large, TV friendly "Boycott the Media!" signs.

FWIW

15. Picket those biased bastards and carry some snappy signs.
