More on the lopsided coverage of racist Bill Donohue’s anti-Marcotte/McEwan crusade in the media.

Would it kill CNN and MSNBC to _mention_ Donohue’s actual bigotry (the only bigotry that has been properly demonstrated in this mess) after profusely thanking him for deigning to be interviewed? Sheesh. Bloggers even do their homework for them and the network talking heads still won’t turn it in.

I repeat my sentiment from yesterday: the. game. is. fixed. Bury “uppity” women, bury bloggers, bury a liberal candidate, all in one utterly unobjective fell swoop; that seems to be the agenda. We cannot tolerate it.

Contact CNN.

Email MSNBC.

We must remind them that liberals watch their programs, too, and we have some amount of affection for the quaint notion of objectivism.

Also, while you’re at it, contact the Anti-Defamation League. I think they have every right to be upset that these networks are treating this noted Anti-Semite as an authority on fair language. With the ADL’s help, we might be able to get America to see Donohue’s true colors.

Here’s the letter I sent:

Hi ADL,

Racist Bill Donohue has had his alarming anti-Jewish statements well documented (they are summarized here) and yet, as noted in that link, CNN and MSNBC, along with the NYT, AP, ABC, CBS, and others, have been treating this man as a reasonable source — or worse, as a celebrated guest.

We can’t stand for this, can we?

Stand tall today, people. Make your voice heard. A lot of people have a lot at stake.

Update:
Calling your regional Anti-Defamation League office might be a faster way to get the word out.

    Until somebody with a high profile takes this on I don’t think Donohue and his ilk will crawl back under a rock. Frankly that person will probably have to be from the Right as well.

    That ain’t gonna happen as long as the Reichwing continues to feed on fear and hatred. Until they lose the presidency and are completely discredited as a political force, there’s no incentive for them to behave properly…

    As a liberal, I have surprisingly little affection for the quaint notion of objectivism. Objectivity, maybe.

    Hah! Fair point. Let’s say objectivity, then. A zombified Ayn Rand can team up with Bill Donohue to condemn us.
