FAIR and MoveOn's Media Victories
December 19, 2003
In the last few months, small victories by Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting and MoveOn's Media Corps point to an important lesson: when journalists and media companies are held accountable by viewers and citizens, they will respond, sometimes acknowledging inaccuracies and improving their media. The political power of the internet is beginning to be realized. We just need to act in organized ways in a responsible way, and we will make a difference in the coming election.

Subject: Media Corps: Meet the Press Gets the Message
Media Corps member,
Congratulations to everyone who called or e-mailed Tim Russert this morning. After hearing from over 800 of you in a few hours, NBC's Meet the Press contacted us to discuss William Safire's untrue comments on Sunday. They got the message!
Unless you saw the show and have other concerns to address, you can refrain from calling or e-mailing Meet the Press about this issue.
Again, congratulations. This really works.
Sincerely,
--Noah T. Winer
