Just because the mass media is biased, doesn't mean we shouldn't bother to try. A few years ago I was watching CNN... it might have been during the Iraq invasion in 2003. They invited viewers to email comments. I sent in something really rude, blasting them for disgusting Zionist bias. It was also quite short. An hour later, to my utter amazement, I heard Richard Quest read it out on air. Incidentally, your website <a href="http://www.civilianism.com/" rel="nofollow">Civilianism.com</a> is excellent. I'll add it to my blogroll. Well done! Shelly, you make a very good point. Just because the mass media is biased, doesn’t mean we shouldn’t bother to try.

Mon, 19 Jan 2009 05:39:22 +0000 http://sydwalker.info/blog/?p=2876#comment-843 I love Alison Weir and her website... and she is someone I only recently "discovered" because she was interviewed on al Jazeera. If we could all write like crazy about this disparity and bias it might make a dent, especially with mainstream media currently going bankrupt. What really helps is letters to the editor of local newspapers,-- imagine if we had letters published in every newspaper in America? I have two blogs where I write about this stuff, but my letter last week in the newspaper got 100,000 eyes on it which is much more than my website gets. Please everyone write letters to the newspaper while you still can. That's one thing they are still good for, their circulation numbers and the people they reach. It's not just "preaching to the choir". Weir does great work but we can all help her.
