+ + + MEDIA RESEARCH CENTER + + MRC NEWS REPORT FOR JULY 2, 2008 + + From the Desk of: Douglas C. Mills, Executive Vice President 7/2/2008 xxxxx, The recent Supreme Court ruling striking down a ban on handgun ownership in Washington, D.C., touched off a maelstrom of negative media reports about how the ruling would lead to more gun violence. Really? The 32-year ban on handguns in our Nation’s Capital was one of the strictest, yet the District has been widely labeled "the murder capital of the country". Why didn't the media analyze that? For the full Culture and Media Institute report: http://www.mrcaction.org/r.asp?U=8733&RID=16005272Just after the ruling, The N.Y. Times used a misleading statistic to bolster their argument. "Thirty-thousand Americans are killed by guns every year -- on the job, walking to school, at the shopping mall. The Supreme Court on Thursday all but ensured that even more Americans will die senselessly with its wrongheaded and dangerous ruling striking down key parts of the District of Columbia's gun-control law." The Times failed to mention that nearly half of the 30,000 deaths are suicides. The paper also didn’t look at how many of those homicides were the result of self-defense. Instead, the Times, like its liberal network counterparts, lamented that the "far-right" court got it wrong, setting the stage for more violence and death.

Did ya ever notice how liberals scream and cry about free speech yet if you hold an opinion diffrent from their they'll do their damndest to keep you silent ? DON'T LET 'EM GET AWAY WITH IT ! CHECK OUT THE FACTS FOR YOURSELF AND SIGN THIS PETITION ! 6/14/2008
I just signed a petition opposing the so-called "Fairness Doctrine"
and similar efforts to silence conservative leaders like Rush Limbaugh,
Mark Levin and Sean Hannity.
Now I understand that liberal leaders are blocking an effort to
protect the rights of conservatives.
Please join me in signing this petition:
http://www.mrcaction.org/512/petition.asp?PID=16840564&NID=1 YOU HAVE RIGHTS TOO ! USE 'EM OR LOSE 'EM !
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR A teacher, a coach, and a student have religious freedoms stripped away
April 21, 2008 The rights of Christians are under attack again! Consider what has happened just in the last week: - In New Jersey, East Brunswick High School officials told football coach Marcus Borden he cannot kneel and bow his head while members of his team have a student-led pre-game prayer. (source)
- In Wisconsin’s Tomah Area School District, a teacher refused to give a student identified only as A.T. a grade on an art project because his work included "John 3:16" as well as "A sign of love." However, Buddha, Hindu and sorcerers are considered “approved” forms of art by the school. (source)
- In Mt. Vernon, Ohio, school leaders told teacher John Freshwater he must put his Bible out of sight when students are in his room. Mr. Freshwater has refused to do so. He has had a Bible on his desk for the past 18 years. (source)
Our religious freedoms are slowly being taken away, mainly because Christians have not taken a stand! People of faith are being forced to remain silent while other religions are accepted in the name of “tolerance.”
| Take Action! | | Join AFA in expressing appreciation to the two teachers and student mentioned above for their bold stand. Despite overwhelming pressure, Marcus, A.T. and John are standing firm in defending our rights. Sign our “Petition of Appreciation!” Help us gather one million signatures supporting these three individuals for standing strong for our religious freedoms. AFA will present a Plaque of Appreciation to each of them, which will include your name and state (no address). |

But is big oil really to blame? MRC's Business and Media Institute just published a new study entitled "Crude Coverage," that identifies the true culprit and faults the liberal media for missing the mark. Click here to discover who is really to blame for the oil crisis and what the U.S. can do to fight back: http://www.mrcaction.org/r.asp?U=5748&RID=16005272Given the skyrocketing gas prices and forecasts of a $4.00 per gallon summer, this latest BMI report both captivated and angered me. That the liberal media have all but ignored OPEC's role--and have instead chosen to go after the easy target of American oil companies is irresponsible and misleading. As a consumer, you need to know the truth. You need to know when Hugo Chavez admits publicly that he wants to keep oil prices high to damage the U.S. economy! You should know why OPEC, an organization formed in part to secure "fair and stable prices for petroleum producers," fails to follow its own mandate. And where are the journalists telling the real story to the American people? That's why this "Crude Coverage" is such an exceptional piece of work and one that I hope every member of our MRC Action Team takes the time to read and pass on to friends and family. Americans deserve the truth about the oil crisis and it can be found right here.

WE DID IT ! ! ! 
Ford meets conditions; AFA suspends boycott
I have some good news for you! AFA is suspending its two year boycott of Ford Motor Company. The conditions of the original agreement presented in fall 2005 have been met. We reached the conclusion that Ford had met the conditions of the agreement based on monitoring for several months. Individuals are free to purchase Ford vehicles again.
Your support of the boycott played a key role in convincing Ford to cease its significant support of the homosexual agenda. During the 24 months the boycott was in effect, Ford sales dropped an average of 8% per month. The boycott was not entirely responsible for the drop in sales, but it played a very significant role.
A total of 780,365 individuals signed AFA's Boycott Ford petition.
The original agreement contained four items:
- Ford would not renew current promotions or create future incentives that give cash donations to homosexual organizations based on the purchase of a vehicle.
- Ford would not make corporate donations to homosexual organizations that, as part of their activities, engage in political or social campaigns to promote civil unions or same-sex marriage.
- Ford would stop giving cash and vehicle donations or endorsements to homosexual social activities such as Gay Pride parades.
- Ford would cease all advertising on homosexual Web sites and through homosexual media outlets (magazines, television, radio) in the U.S. with the exception of $100,000 to be used by Volvo. The Volvo ads would be the same ads used in the general media and not aimed at the homosexual community specifically.
A few minor issues remain, and we will continue to bring these to the attention of Ford. But basically Ford has met the terms of the agreement. We are therefore suspending the boycott.
Homosexual Day of Silence - Is Your Child's School on the list?
Because of the action of concerned parents, hundreds of schools have removed their school as a listed participant in the pro-homosexual "Day of Silence." You can join the fight for your children too!
On, Friday, April 25, several thousand schools across the nation will be observing "Day of Silence (DOS)." DOS is a nationwide push to promote the homosexual lifestyle in public schools.
When AFA alerted parents of this public school classroom disruption by homosexual student activists, many took action immediately! If you haven't gotten involved, it's critical that you do so today!
A simple phone call or letter to school administrators, telling them your child will not attend school the day it observes DOS, may be enough to cause some participating schools to change their plans. Sample letter here.
Please listen to a 60-second radio ad warning parents about Day of Silence, then forward this email to your local Christian or conservative radio station. Ask them to broadcast it as a Public Service Announcement (PSA)! MP3 file or WAV file
Click here for Frequently Asked Questions about the Day of Silence.
In the past week alone, over 200 schools have announced they are dropping plans to participate. Please, get involved for the sake or your children, and all children, today!
Take Action!
What should parents do? Check with your local school principal to see if your child's school will be participating in DOS. If the school is participating, notify other parents about DOS and ask them to join in keeping their children out of school on that day. Here is a partial list of schools which are expected to participate in DOS: If your school is listed, call your local school and ascertain whether they officially or passively allow students to observe "Day of Silence." If your school is listed, please double-check with your local school to see if the school is actually sponsoring DOS. Sometimes the "participation" turns out to be a handful of kids who are saying they have a homosexual club and are observing this protest day, but without school endorsement. We sincerely hope your school, if listed, is not actually an official sponsor. If it is not, we will take them off the list, if a school official asks us to do so. Please e-mail your correction to webmaster@missionamerica.com.
Some tips:
- Be sure of the date that DOS is planned for your school. (The national date is April 25, but some schools observe DOS on a different date.)
- Inform the school of your intention to keep your child home on that date and explain why. Click here for a sample letter.
- Explain to your children why you're taking a stand: Homosexual behavior is not an innate identity; it is a sinful, unnatural and destructive behavior. No school should advance a physically, emotionally, and spiritually destructive sexual lifestyle to students.
- Schools do not have to tolerate students remaining silent in class. Schools can adopt policies that require parental consent for students to attend any club, including those premised on sexual orientation or gender identity.

Here's another update on the Communist Proppaganda Rag ..... er, I mean the NY Times Courtasy of MRC + + + MEDIA RESEARCH CENTER

MRC NEWS REPORT FOR MARCH 5, 2008
+ +
From the Desk of:
Douglas Mills
Executive Vice President
3/5/2008
Confirming MRC findings, a just released study by the Center
for Media and Public shows that liberal media bias in this
election cycle continues unabated. According to the study,
as cited by Fox News Channel's Brit Hume, positive news
coverage of John McCain went into a negative freefall the
closer he drew to winning the GOP nomination.
While this may not be a surprise, the disparity of negative
coverage between the candidates is nothing short of shocking!
As reported by Hume, "McCain's media fortunes have taken a
dramatic turn for the worse since early January," tumbling 67
percent from a high of 97 percent positive to 30 percent.
Conversely, Barack Obama, despite a recent slip, is still
receiving twice the positive coverage as McCain (67 percent);
while Hillary Clinton stands at 57 percent.

Global Warming skeptics are getting the cold shoulder from
news organizations that have decided the global warming is
a fact and any dissenting arguments are to be squashed.
On those increasingly rare instances where opposing opinions
are expressed, they are almost always de-valued and undermined
with negative buzz words like "cynics" and "deniers."
In a new Special Report, "Global Warming Censored," the Business
& Media Institute analyzed 205 network news stories about "global
warming" or "climate change" between July 1, 2007, and Dec. 31, 2007.
They discovered that for every global warming skeptic appearing
on air, an average of 13 proponents (CBS led the way with a ratio
of 38 to 1) were mentioned or interviewed.
Just as amazing, only 20 percent of Global Warming stories ever
bothered to mention opposing arguments!

An update from the folks at Grassfire Alliance. 2/29/2008
Breaking news has confirmed what Grassfire has been saying all
along--the VIRTUAL BORDER FENCE HAS FAILED!
According to reports, Project 28 (twenty-eight miles of virtual
border fence in Arizona), which the President has boasted is
"the most technologically advanced border security initiative
in American history" has failed.
New estimates suggest the project will not be completed until
the end of the next president’s first term--in 2011!
This is just one more slap across the face of
American citizens who are eager to see our borders secured!
The lack of commitment and concern; the colossal
waste of taxpayer funds is nothing short of
reprehensible--which is why Grassfire launched
our national petition demanding Congress make good
on their promise to build a double-layered fence.
++ Future of the Fence in Peril?
Grassfire has also learned that Senators Hillary Clinton and
Barack Obama have called the Border Fence "absurd" and stated
that the Bush Administration walked "off of the deep end" when
they started securing the Border.
Ignorant of the situation, Clinton falsely accused the Department
of Homeland Security (DHS) of not listening to the locals and
cutting off part of the University of Texas--Brownsville Campus.
Taking these accusations to task, Grassfire spoke with DHS
officials and uncovered the truth concerning the University
of Texas-Brownsville situation.
++ The Truth Revealed...
In the plan adopted by the DHS, the fence runs along
the Rio Grande River. At no point does it separate any buildings
from campus. However, the plan does enclose a golf course--similarly
to what one would find at private country clubs.
Truth be told, the DHS is working with locals and accommodating
their needs--something both Presidential hopefuls failed to acknowledge.
Why? Because both have an "open-border" agenda.
Both of these important stories underscore the importance of
grassroots citizens remaining vigilant in efforts to secure
the border. Grassfire is doing our part, and we are relying
on you to do yours...
++Action #1--Alert your friends!
In just weeks, Grassfire will be on
Capitol Hill presenting our petitions during a national
press event, and we want to represent you, your family
and your friends.
Please forward this message to 25-30 friends and family.
Urge them to click here and add their name to our
petition in time for our D.C. presentation:
http://www.grassfire.org/242/petition.asp?PID=15679844
+ + Action Item #2--Contact your Congressman
After alerting your friends, take an additional moment or two
to contact your Congressman urging him/her to support the
Secure Fence Act by voting for two bills that have recently
been introduced in Congress:
-H.R. 4987- Fence By Date Certain Act (Jones R-NC)
-H.R. 5124- Reinstatement of the Secure Fence Act of
2008 (Hunter R-CA)
To be quickly connected to your Congressman, call the Capitol
switchboard today: 202-224-3121.
If you have not yet signed our "Build The Fence" petition,
go here to be included in our petition delivery:
http://www.grassfire.org/242/petition.asp?PID=15679844
Thank you for your quick response.
Steve
P.S: Please take immediate action--first by forwarding this
important message and then calling your Congressmen!

This may be the last straw...
The New York Times' Executive Editor Bill Keller is now
trying to blame conservatives for the blowup over the Times'
outrageously shoddy journalism!
Keller adamantly refuses to accept any responsibility for the
Times' tabloid attack on John McCain.
And now he's turning his guns on you and me -- blaming us for
the controversy surrounding the Times' article.
My boss Brent Bozell is outraged. Just yesterday Brent labeled
The New York Times a "national disgrace" and called for the
immediate dismissal of Bill Keller. Brent says that Keller's
dismissal is the "only hope of beginning to rebuild the
Times' reputation."
+ + Tell The New York Times: Editor Keller Must Go!
That is why, today, the MRC is launching a nationwide grassroots
campaign calling for the resignation or immediate dismissal of
New York Times Executive Editor Bill Keller.
We want to flood Keller's office and nine other key Times
officials with thousands of faxes from citizens like you,
demanding that Keller be dismissed as a first step to
restoring that paper's credibility.

+ + New York Times must be held accountable
As I shared with you a few days ago, Brent is determined that
the Times must not get away with such shoddy and dangerous
journalism -- and we certainly cannot let them blame conservatives!
That is why we decided to launch this fax campaign.
In fact, when you schedule your faxes (in appreciation of a
tax-deductible gift to the MRC), you can also choose to send
a Certified Letter directly to the Times’ publisher.
I would very much like to see the Times' Publisher get
hundreds of Certified Letters from citizens like you!
Please go here to take action:

This is such a clear example of how the liberal media is
trying to determine the outcome of the elections. It is
shameful and despicable -- and now Bill Keller is trying
to turn the tables and blame you and me!
Brent is determined not to let this happen.
Please stand with the MRC to expose the Times' bias by taking
action -- either by sending your own faxes or using our
convenient service.
Thank you for the vital part you play in MRC Action!

+ + + MEDIA RESEARCH CENTER + + MRC NEWS REPORT FOR FEBRUARY 6, 2008 + + From the Desk of: Douglas Mills, Executive Vice President 2/6/2008 The liberal media are falling all over themselves speculating a potential Democratic "Dream Ticket" of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. ABC News was so taken by the idea, they actually flew up a graphic while anchor Charles Gibson insisted that the "Dream Ticket" idea has been "on many people's minds." Really Charles, or is it just on the minds of liberal news anchors desperate to create a buzz? A closer look suggests the latter. "Good Morning America" co-anchor Diane Sawyer, seemed to come unhinged when discussing the idea with George Stephanopoulos. After he admitted it was something he was thinking of "for most of the year," Sawyer emphatically begged Stephanopoulos to bet that the "Dream Ticket" would happen. For the complete mrc.org CyberAlert report: http://www.mrcaction.org/r.asp?u=2574&rid=14576094Is the Reagan ideology finished? Is the conservative movement gone? Are Republicans finally embracing Democratic policy prescriptions while Rush Limbaugh and other conservative mouthpieces wither away? In Brent's latest column "McCain vs. Limbaugh", he spotlights the liberal media's rush to pronounce Rush dead on January 19. That's the day when John McCain won the South Carolina primary--setting liberal corks-a-popping as they "celebrated" the changing times, and how conservative voters had finally turned on Rush--signaling his demise... Well, according to Brent, the liberal celebration might be a bit premature.

AFA will not bow down to a threat from a liberal left-wing group The Rev. Barry Lynn, the executive director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, has asked that the Internal Revenue Service investigate the American Family Association. Lynn says that AFA has violated IRS rules by distributing a voters guide.
For years, Rev. Lynn and his Americans United, along with groups such as the American Civil Liberties Union and People for the American Way, have used threats to silence Christians in an attempt to take away their First Amendment rights. The tragedy is that he has been successful in silencing thousands of ministers.
Let me make one thing clear to Rev. Lynn and his cohorts. We have no intention of bowing down to his threatening demands. Rev. Lynn is mistaken if he thinks his threat will scare this minister from exercising his First Amendment rights.
Lynn has also included a threat to churches. Trying to scare ministers from exercising their rights, Lynn said: "Any church that distributes these biased guides is risking its tax exemption and casting aside its integrity."
The AFA Voters Guide was developed by three constitutional lawyers and reviewed by three more constitutional lawyers following Rev. Lynn's threat. All agreed that the voters guide is perfectly legal.
The Alliance Defense Fund has offered to represent (free of charge) churches or organizations which distribute the voter's guide and encounter opposition from either Lynn or the IRS.
Take Action! - Show Rev. Lynn that his threats don't scare you by printing and distributing the AFA Voter's Guide. Click here.
- Forward this to family and friends.
