From MoveOn.org:
"American media outlets have chosen to stifle or simply not show the most terrible and saddening aspects of this war. They are reluctant to air the voices of critics who are raising important questions about its effectiveness and purpose. And they appear to have acceded to the Bush Administration's desire to black out pictures or footage of civilian casualties.
We need to demand the full picture. The MoveOn Media Corps is a group of committed MoveOn volunteers who will mobilize to push the media to fairly cover this war. The action ideas we send you won't generally take longer than 15 minutes, but to be part of the Corps we ask that you commit to taking up to one action per day. The actions could include calling media outlets when they air especially bad coverage, pushing Clear Channel radio to stop censoring anti-war songs, or writing letters to the editor."
Interested parties can join by filling out this form. MoveOn is extending a special request to AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) users: "we especially need your help. We're developing an IM-based instant response network. By adding your handle, we'll be able to contact you with urgent, time-sensitive alerts that can make an impact more quickly than ever possible before."
