URGENT - FROM THE MODERATE INDEPENDENT

'The images broadcast during a debate are arguably more important than what is said. And by being by chosen to man the pool camera for the first debate, FOX News will have entire control over what America sees and how they see it.

And, as if there were any question, FOX News is making clear they will take every opportunity to catch Kerry sweating or with a weird face when he isn't talking or anything unflattering anytime - even against the negotiated rules agreed to by the candidates.

As CNN reports: "Because of journalistic standards, we're not going to follow outside restrictions," said Paul Schur, a spokesman for Fox News, which is manning the pool camera for the first debate Thursday in Miami, Florida."

If FOX mans the cameras, as is planned, whenever Kerry is making a good point, they will cut away to a distracting shot so the point gets lost, and if Bush is sounding bad, they will cut to an unflattering shot of John or something to distract in the audience. And then they will give Bush nice, tight, undistracted focus when they want to make him seem strong.

Hear this now: contact anyone and everyone you can and make it clear that is this is not thwarted in the next day, if FOX News, a known, undeniable member of the Bush campaign, is allowed to control the pool camera - the camera the rest of the media will have to feed from - Kerry will lose the election. It is the equivalent of letting Karl Rove or Dick Cheney control the camera coverage for the debate.

We do not know yet how this was arranged - it is possible the Kerry campaign is not aware of this yet - but it must be changed.'
