We just received a gift - the best opportunity imaginable.
Why bemoan or complain about the Cobert Coverage? Or more accurately, the Cobert Cover-up?
Why complain about the AP, the Chi-Trib, the NYT, WaPo, or Reuters for belittling or ignoring the real story of the Correspondents' dinner?
Why rue the day to day ignorance of the American public -deliberately created by MainStreamMedia?
Why bitch about the likelihood that in two weeks, we will forget, but that most of America will never have a chance to learn?

Because it is all crap, frankly.

Let's take a page from the GOP-Rovian playbook.
First, you set up a culprit. Then you bang them over the head with a hammer until the point sticks. Finally, you use the culprit to make sure your message sticks.

here's our plan

A) We have proof positive of corporate-owned, news media bias. That is our culprit.
B) we send letters, LTTEs, to cable, TV news and newspapers over and over. They will get printed. They will get noticed. In each the message is simple. There is a neocon media bias, one which prevents stories like Colbert on the air or into print.
C) Finally, we question the media at each occasion, at every opportunity repeatedly asking them why they are so biased against moderates and liberals? IS it the corporate money? the advertising? or the fact that some of them have actually been on the Bush payroll?
