SIGN the MoveOn.org Petition: Enough Distractions

Subject: Enough is enough

If you missed the Democratic presidential debate on ABC Wednesday night, Editor & Publisher called it "perhaps the most embarrassing performance by the media in a major presidential debate in years."

Moderators George Stephanopoulos and Charlie Gibson spent the first 50 minutes obsessed with distractions that only political insiders care about--gaffes, polling numbers, the stale Rev. Wright story, and the old-news Bosnia story. And, channeling Karl Rove, they directed a video question to Barack Obama asking if he loves the American flag or not. Seriously!

I just signed a petition to ABC and other media that says: "Debate moderators abuse the public trust every time they ask trivial questions about gaffes and 'gotchas' that only political insiders care about. Enough with the distractions--ABC and other networks must focus on issues that affect people's daily lives."

Want to sign it too? We need a bunch of signers for ABC to take this concern seriously.

4. BWAHAHAHAHA This is there 2nd petition against a media in 3 months

Moveon is nonsignificant in this election cycle. They have cried wolf too many times and the media knows it. They are thinking, brother another moveon petition against another media outlet. To the shredder they go. Also, moveon shot its own foot for endorsing Obama over Hillary. Bwahahaha.
