Join Media for Democracy's Election Response Team

Tim Karr -- Media for Democracy

Dear Liza Sabater,

Only hours remain before voting stations open across America. Mainstream media outlets are standing by with million-dollar, election night extravaganzas ready to break news as it happens. Whether they'll get the story right or fall victim to the election spin cycle depends not only on their skills as reporters, but also on your vigilance as media watchers.

You can safeguard our democracy against media mishaps by taking part in Media For Democracy 2004's MediaWatchBlog.

MediaWatchBlog is an interactive blogging tool designed to help every American become an effective election media monitor on November 2.

Keep an eye out for over eager and partisan media -- who might be tempted to disrupt the democratic process with premature victory projections, biased reporting and oversight. MediaWatchBlog allows you to file reports on suspicious media coverage in your community and over your air.

Join Our Election Day Rapid-Response Team | Election MediaWatchBlog

Media For Democracy 2004 staff will vet and post citizen reports for further fact-checking by Media For Democracy 2004's members. Other members are invited to debunk media misinformation and to help us create a rapid response to media organizations that cross the lines of fairness and accuracy.

In cases where media abuses merit special action, Media For Democracy 2004 will launch a nation-wide alert that includes special grassroots action by our 65,000 members as well as real-time releases to press that draw attention to ongoing abuses of our media system.

With your help tomorrow we can safeguard our election against possible media abuses before the damage can't be undone.

Stay Tuned and Ready,

Timothy Karr
