Ditch Your Dirty Energy Ads Now
Dear Mr. Zuckerberg,
We are hugely disappointed to hear that your group FWD.us is funding ads that support the risky Keystone XL tar sands pipeline and drilling in the Arctic Refuge. You’ve been a leader in technology. We expect you to be a leader on climate change and clean energy innovation, not bankrolling ads for dirty energy projects.
If you keep this up, you will alienate a critical piece of Facebook’s audience — people like us who care deeply about protecting our planet for future generations.
Please take a stand for our environment and our climate. Pull your dirty energy ads off the air now.
@MSNBC selectively remembers the #Iraq #War
Morning Joe and Luke Russert leave out some important context. Like how much MSNBC pushed for war.

Petition the White House to have the Federal Communications Commission order News Corp. to remove the word "news" from their organization.
Fox News have not demonstrated themselves to be a responsible news organization. It is headed by an individual who has previously worked as a media consultant for republican administrations and at one point, set about to construct a media organization that would reflect the conservative viewpoint and was quoted as saying: “People are lazy. With television you just sit—watch—listen. The thinking is done for you.”
Fox News has, through numerous and well documented examples, have consistently misled their viewers with faulty information through their polling, graphics, imaginary conspiracies, purposeful mislabeling of politicians whom they do not agree with, editing interviews and speeches, and using photographs of one incident and claiming them to be another.
Oh, Fox. Foxy, fox fox. No.
I am so fucking done with this shit.
Whaddya mean? What will you do about it?
Protect Media Diversity: Stop Media Consolidation: Bernie Sanders - U.S. Senator for Vermont
The Federal Communications Commission is considering whether to waive its rule against cross-ownership in the nation’s top-20 markets. Increasing the concentration of news outlets limits the public’s access to unbiased information about important issues.
Sen. Sanders is urging the FCC to keep rules in place against media conglomerates owning television stations, radio stations and newspapers in the same major broadcast market.
Thank Bob Costas for Speaking Out Against Gun Violence
Dear Mr. Costas,
Thank you for speaking out against gun violence. We need elected leaders and public figures like you to recognize the problem of gun violence that kills 34 Americans every day. I’m grateful for your courage in standing up for all those who have lost a loved one to needless gun violence.
It’s an outlet for people who who disagree with sounds that are dissociated with sanity and reality coming out of the NRA and it’s surrogate Fox News.
Please ask Mr. Clemente what the words of my supposed apology were. I’d be interested to know,” he said. “Frankly, I don’t remember any such apology

Got a Minute-And-A-Half? Take a look.
No More Media for Murdoch
Rupert Murdoch — the guy who’s under investigation in England for phone hacking, influence peddling and bribery — wants to get his mitts on the Los Angeles Times and the Chicago Tribune1,2. These are the major papers in the nation’s second- and third-largest cities (where, incidentally, Murdoch already owns TV stations).
Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski is trying to change the agency’s ownership rules to pave the way for Murdoch to get exactly what he wants. Worse, Genachowski and Murdoch are keeping this all very hush-hush, hoping you won’t notice.3
These changes wouldn’t just benefit Murdoch. If the FCC proposal passes, one company could own the major daily newspaper, two TV stations and up to eight radio stations in your town. And that one company could be your Internet provider, too. What is the FCC thinking?!?
We can still stop the agency from taking this perilous step — but we have less than a month to do it.
