Rumor has it that the Los Angeles Times is going to dump columnist
Robert Scheer.
Robert Scheer is one of the most read proponents of our ideals. He is one of the few voices in the mainstream media who has supported the impeachment of Bush. Losing his liberal viewpoint from the Los Angeles Times would be a great setback for all liberals and for balanced media.
His most recent column (Nov. 1) was on how Judy Miller gave Bush the election by protecting those who were interfering with freedom of speech.
Visit his web page at the L. A. Times. Let them see how many visitors he gets. Use the "E-mail story" link to send his columns to friends. See his latest column at
http://www.latimes.com/...
and see the archive of his older columns at
http://www.workingforchange.com/...
Then tell the Times to keep Scheer. Tell them you like his columns and that you pass them to your friends.
