I sent this email as a campaign suggestion to AVAAZ.org yesterday:
" ... The way the mass-corporate media works becomes more and more dangerous every day. They are blocking people's minds against real problems like climate change, human rights, wars, and poverty. So I thougt that it might be a good idea to take action. You can use this striking documentary as your starting point, it will help you understand the problem better:
Globalisation and the Media

This video is shorter and sums it up, but not as effective:

I don't know if you even heard about 'Sibel Edmonds', it's one of the most extreme examples for the problem, a little political though:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/philip-giraldi/sibel-edmonds-must-be-hea_b_84781.html
It's about the corruption in US government and "the sale of United States defense secrets, most particularly nuclear technology..." to middle east.
I think it's pretty important that the whole world hears about this.
Here in detail:

If the topic seems too boring for a big campaign then just pick another one, there are so many. Go to
http://www.bradblog.com for political stuff, one scary news after another an you'll find almost none of them on Tv or newspapers in US.
Go to
http://www.foxattacks.com or
http://www.stopbigmedia.com/ for more information, maybe you even should contact the website owners and work together..?
The longer it takes for us to act, the harder it will get to act and more valuable energy will be wasted.
I don't know how exactly your relationship with MoveOn.org (your sister, political organisation) is, but you might want to cooperate with them about this problem, since it's not only about politics, but the media is manipulated for certain politics. In other words they are not news anymore, it's just propaganda. I sent MoveOn an e-mail about this,too. (but forgot to mention the cooperation part).
Maybe with cooperations and stuff you can turn this into one hell of a campaign and revolutionize the world, and become heroes, legends even, never to be forgotten !
You get the idea, I really want you to do something about it! If you decide not to do anything, then you can at least direct me to another powerful organisation who might be able to make a change. ..."

I don't think they will respond, but they might do something, I don't know...
I think that their latest campaign about the US elections might have something to do with my earlier efforts: I had sent an email telling that it's a global matter and so on. I also post a lot of stuff on their facebook group trying to inform people, although I doubt that anyone bothers to read it.
(AVAAZ is a pretty big, global organisation with a lot of members, even if you don't believe that they'll don't do anything about MSM, you should still sign up.)
Anyway maybe if more people pressure them to do something, they will take it more seriously. We can start a campaign in these forums to pressure them maybe?
P.S: The links in my email to various sites and videos, I'm not sure if they are the best ones for this purpose. Maybe you could tell me if there are more effective sources on this subject to move people, so I can inform Avaaaz.org better.
