Dave Neiwert's Angry About The Press

And justifiably so, as they've been instrumental in dumbing down the national discourse.

If the press were properly reporting on this election, the public would have a clearer picture of how John Kerry's economic, environmental and education policies would affect their lives differently than those purveyed by the Bush administration. It would understand the significant differences in their approaches to national security, and it would be far clearer just who in fact has more serious and credible credentials when it comes to the "war on terror" and keeping the nation safe, particularly when it comes to matters of basic competence and knowledge. These are issues that affect us in concrete ways.

But the press doesn't deal with those issues...

As a result, Dave has come up with the rough draft of the Media Revolt Manifesto. Go, read, get angry - you should be.
