White House Press Corps: Counterintel 101

One of the main problems I and scores others have with the current state of things at home is overwhelming amount of evidence supporting the idea that the mainstream news sources (TV and newspaper) in America are nothing more than propaganda tools of this administration. This idea is not by any stretch of the imagination a recent one, however I believe for many years this was thought to be a myth or at the very least an exaggeration. If you are a reader of the more up-to-the-minute web information, you know that many folks are out there, pointing to this spin for what it is.

My question to anyone out there would be why hasn't anyone taken action? I am not just talking about speaking out. I am talking about guerilla action. Why isn't the NYT website hacked when they publish (or fail to publish the truth about) untrue information? Why isn't a reporter afraid to put his or her name to what they know to be false or written in a deceptive manner? They should be afraid of the blowback from the public, not the administration. So far, they are only afraid of the Bush team. These people should be afraid of us. They should be called at home, harrassed in public, generally made to realize that we are listening. Why hasn't someone started publishing emails, addresses, and phone numbers of "journalists" who aren't playing straight, so we can all give them a call or an email expressing our disappointment. If thousands did this everyday, we might even get some kind of reaction....

When the people know the truth, we'll be able to start to change things.
