ACTION Needed: ABC's Stephanopoulos Must Recuse Himself From Any Reporting
Involving The Obama Administration

MRC Action Team Called to Action!

ABCNews’ George Stephanopoulos is currently conducting private, daily phone briefings with Obama chief of staff Rahm
Emanuel, while presenting himself as an “objective” journalist. This is an outrageous and obvious conflict of interest.

The Media Research Center is asking team members to take immediate action by calling and emailing key ABC News personnel and demanding Stephanopoulos immediately recuse himself from reporting on the Obama Administration. Click here to send personalized emails, and find ABC News contact information:
Call ABC News and demand that Stephanopoulos immediately stop reporting on anything to do with the Obama Administration.

MRC Action Team Petition
The “Fairness Doctrine” is The Censorship Doctrine!

One obstacle is all that remains before liberals can implement their radical, rights eroding agenda—conservative talk! Such a move has little to do with fairness and everything to do with censoring conservative ideas and speech. To counter this push, the Media Research Center has launched the Free Speech Alliance, as a way of giving citizens a platform to oppose any such measure to silence our Free Speech Rights. We urge you to STAND AGAINST THE CENSORSHIP DOCTRINE by clicking on the links below!
Our petition opposing the “Censorship Doctrine”.
Help the MRC reach more citizens with this important message and call to protect our free speech rights.

140,218 Petitions Delivered to Key Media Targets Demanding They Stop Media Bias in Election Coverage!

The goal of this important petition is to draw national attention to the need for the media to establish clear, internal procedures and protocols to monitor their own election coverage and to pledge to provide fair, unbiased reporting.

Cheerleaders of the left
The Networks have continued slanting news coverage to favor liberal political candidates, and the 2008 election is no exception. But even we were surprised at just how blatantly the media have skewed their reporting to focus on positive news, while ignoring negative news of Barack Obama. Get our exclusive analysis of every ABC, CBS, and NBC evening news story on Obama-- every sound-bite, every mention from his first appearance on a network broadcast in May 2000 through the end of the Democratic primaries in June 2008, and see for yourself. We‘ve published our findings in a dynamic, pocket-sized resource entitled, Obama’s Margin of Victory: The Media. This power-packed resource has quickly become our most requested special report!

In addition to Obama’s Margin of Victory: The Media, MRC analysts have produced, Editing Reverend Wright's Wrongs, which has also proven to be one of our most requested special reports. See the level of deception the liberal media engaged in censoring and manipulating Rev. Wright’s sound-bites, and noxious commentary to keep the real truth from the American people.
Request these popular reports.

Unmasking the Myths Behind the Fairness Doctrine
Political activists and even certain U.S. senators have argued that the federal government should reinstitute the Fairness Doctrine, which would require broadcasters to air both sides of controversial issues. Opponents charge that Fairness Doctrine advocates are trying to reduce the impact of conservative talk radio.

Demand TIME Magazine Apologize for Desecrating the Marines Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima
TIME magazine’s recent cover equating the “war on global warming” to World War II -- and desecrating the iconic photo of the Marines raising the flag on Iwo Jima -- is one of the most blatant examples of the media’s outrageous bias on the Global Warming issue.

Crude Coverage

MRC Calls For Full Disclosure Of Red Cross Suspect Blood
The Red Cross is refusing to release information on 1,000 units of suspect blood that were released into the general population and may have represented a major health risk. The Red Cross was fined $4.6 million by the FDA for mishandling this blood. Now, the Red Cross will not disclose what happened to the suspect blood. Was it destroyed? Was it used? Did anyone become ill? The Red Cross isn’t saying. MRC Action’s petition is calling for full disclosure and coverage of this story by the mainstream media.

Express Your Outrage To the NY Times For Their "Tar and Feather" Campaign Against John McCain
The NY Times is showing their liberal bias for all to see in their attack against Republican Presidential hopeful John McCain.
As facts surface, it's clear that by holding the 8-year-old story, offering no new information or sources the Times only spotlighted their liberal agenda in this election year. If the Times had a real story on McCain, why hold it until after the nomination was secured? The MRC Action Team is flooding NY Times offices with phone calls, emails and petitions. Demand the Times retract their story and apologize to its readers by taking immediate action below:

Liberal Media Launches All-Out Attack On Conservatives
The liberal media is spinning John McCain’s lead in the G.O.P. primaries into an all-out attack on conservatives. This is the Left’s real election-year plan -- to bury conservatives and the conservative movement. MRC Action is calling on citizens to demand fair reporting this election year.

Demand Leading Newspapers Carry a Disclaimer on "Dear Abby" Columns
For decades "Dear Abby" as been an institution in sage advice for confused Americans. But a closer look at the advice she is giving is raising serious concerns over the soundness of that advice. The MRC has analyzed a year's worth of Abby columns, and discovered that she consistently takes liberal stands on everything from pre-marital sex, sexual experimentation, marriage and fidelity and more. The MRC is urging ActionTeam members to contact her syndicator and major newspapers urging them to carry a disclaimer on her column. Click on the links below for more information:

MRC Action Team Called to Action!
MRC Special Report TV Morning Shows Rooting For Democrats
The ABC, CBS and NBC morning news shows are dramatically tilting their presidential campaign coverage in favor of the Democrats, a seven-month MRC study has found. The TV morning shows have given nearly double the coverage to Democrats (55% of all campaign segments) vs. Republicans (29%), and doled out nearly three times more interview airtime to Democrats than Republicans. Additionally, network reporters used a mostly liberal agenda when questioning candidates from both parties, a distinct favor to the Democrats. To review the full report click on the link below. After reviewing the report, send your personal emails to the network heads responsible for the skewed coverage: Access MRC's "Rise and Shine on Democrats" full report. Send your personal emails to the Networks demanding balanced Presidential coverage.


MRC Special Report
Huffington's House of Horrors
When Arianna Huffington founded The Huffington Post in 2005, she opened her new Internet venture with a pledge, as quoted by Newsweek: "If you¹re looking for the usual flame-throwing, name-calling, and simplistic attack dog rhetoric....don¹t bother coming to The Huffington Post." An MRC content analysis amply demonstrates that this celebrity-stuffed leftist blog specializes in hate speech and vicious, profane attacks against conservatives and an ignorant American public.

America’s Culture War Rages On
MRC's Culture and Media Institute was specifically created to help preserve and restore America’s culture, character and traditional moral values against an ever-aggressive assault by the liberal media elite. There just released National Cultural Values Survey is a compelling report depicting the liberal media’s vast contribution to the denigration of traditional values in our nation.

Media Distorts a Healthy Economy
 Network news stories have painted a bleak picture of a U.S. economy in decline. Reporters treated gas prices as a metaphor for the economy – only when they were high. And a slowing housing market coming off two record years was just another club used against Republican incumbents by a pessimistic press. But it is simply not true. In the just released MRC News Report, Bad News Bears How Networks Distort a Good Economy and Batter President Bush, the truth is uncovered.

The Media vs. The War on Terror
Five years of intensive analysis of hundreds of news stories about the war on terror has gone into the creation of the latest MRC special report The Media vs. The War on Terror. Shallow reporting, Bush-bashing and skewed concern over alleged threats to our civil liberties dominates coverage, while concern over citizen safety -- both here and abroad gets second billing, or no mention at all. This is an expose the mainstream media is eager to keep from surfacing. That's why after reading the report, the MRC is asking the Action Team to help them get this report into major local newsrooms across the nation. To send this report to members of your local media click on the link below:
