What We Need To Do To Fight Msm Bias!!!

[slabjacker21]

Unfortunately what the MSM is doing is legal. Due to a loophole in the Federal Communications Act of 1934 section 315 the MSM can claim that they do not have to cover Ron Paul by claiming their newcasts fall into the 4 exemptions.

Check out the Act at this link: http://www.fcc.gov/Reports/1934new.pdf.

This link explains that Congress created 4 exemptions in 1959: http://www.museum.tv/archives/etv/E/...qualtimeru.htm.

The explanation is: "Congress stressed that the public interest would be served by allowing stations the freedom to cover the activities of candidates without worrying that any story about a candidate, no matter how tangentially related to his or her candidacy, would require equal time."
Kucinich tried to use the Act when he complained about being left out of the CNN debate. The FCC denied his complaint due to the debate falling into one
of the exemptions.
I am not saying that we should not complain NOW but we also have to contact our congressman/congresswoman to try and get this changed for future elections.

We need to educate our fellow citizens.

First we need to get the FEC donations list and make conservative voters aware that Fox News reporters are all backing Obama and Clinton. Rupert Murdoch openly supports Clinton but you'd be surprised how few people know it.

I think we need to take these networks down one by one. Our biggest weapon is the internet but I think we need to campaign directly against the media in the same way we've campaigned for Ron Paul. Guerrilla style. We can start a mass movement to demonstrate that the media is corrupt.

Stamp any paper that circulates with "Fox News Lies". One cool thing about this is that we can mobilize lots of people to do this who aren't even Ron Paul supporters.

More ideas will be forthcoming.

UNTRUE!

Please see my underlining in the last paragraph of that rule. Here:

What I did was take a window marker and write "SAY NO TO CORPORATE MEDIA" on my back window.

Here is the link to the ruling on the Kucinich conplaint: http://www.fcc.gov/mb/080136.pdf. I truly believe that the MSM blackout is criminal but the exemptions seem to allow the newcasters alot of "wiggle room". The issue of "public interest" can be interpreted in different ways by the MSM. Thanks for the link to your previous thread. I will keep emailing.

Are they covering RP on any channel? CNN has had nothing yet, and I briefly turned to Faux, hoping just to see a picture of him. Hannity and Colmes was on, so I knew he wouldn't appear. Sure enough, they covered every candidate except Ron Paul. I'm back on CNN right now.
