Reply #43: Mind if a do a post about this, asking DUers to e-mail MSNBC?? [View All]

For the past week or two I've been trying something out: I've been asking DUers to e-mail specific media outlets, in regard to one particular subject. My theory is that a targeted, coordinated approach is most effective in having an impact on the media -- a station getting 100 or more e-mails on one subject might take notice.

I've put a few posts up over the past two weeks or so. For example, one asked everybody to e-mail CNN thanking them for having Boxer on and letting her talk at length, and then asking them to give more coverage to her efforts. Thursday I did one asking everybody to e-mail Chris Matthews asking him to talk about the neoconservatives and how they're driving Bush's foreign policy (since Tweety is hosting tomorrow night's Iraqi election extravaganza on MSNBC).

Got a very good response on the Boxer one -- about 40-50 people did it. Less than 10 did the Matthews one, though (bummer).

The stuff you wrote about Scarborough makes my blood boil. That's exactly the crap that should be smacked down, but good. There seems to be a ton of Clark supporters on DU -- I bet they'd send e-mails.

What do you think? If you like the idea, I would like to put a link to your e-mail on the post, if that would be okay with you -- so people can read of full account of Scarborough's "lyin' ways".
