322. Thanks. Demonstration planned in San Diego.
A friend is organizing it in front of the Union-Tribune offices here. I hope others will follow suit. I've been a newspaper journalist myself, and know that you are right.

FYI, I've formed an e-mail group of activists across the nation. We've begun a strategy of e-mail independent newspapers that switched endorsements from Bush in 2000 to Kerry in 2004. So far two have published strong editorials on voter fraud after receiving the materials we sent, so there is a glimmer of hope. If enough readers see this in second-tier papers and start questioning why larger newspapers and TV stations aren't carrying these stories, it will become more difficult for the mainstream media to ignore.

Times have surely changed since Watergate, when even our conservative local paper covered the unfolding story in vivid detail.

I still think going over the heads of publishers to the corporations that own them--and their stockholders--may be the way to break through the ice. I've posted the idea here a couple of times but no one has responded. Maybe pickets in front of Disneyland would get some attention.
