FDL Action Item: Tell AP To Remove Ron Fournier From the Presidential Beat
by Jonathan Singer, Sat Aug 23, 2008 at 01:04:05 PM EDT
FireDogLake, which generated 15,000 letters to the editor in opposition to the Associated Press' Nedra Pickler's recitation of bogus smears against Barack Obama, is at it again with another important action item: Calling on the AP to force Ron Fournier to recuse himself from covering the White House race given his all-too-close ties with the McCain campaign (which he was in months of conversations about joining). Here's the action item (and click here for my backgrounder earlier in the morning):
Ron Fournier, the Washington AP bureau chief, wrote a hit piece against Obama's selection of Joe Biden as VP and tried to pass it off as objective reporting.His clear bias makes him unfit for his role as bureau chief, and we can push for him to be removed from this role by writing to the editors of local and national newspapers.
Please take action and call for Fournier's removal as Washington AP Bureau Chief by calling his boss, Kathleen Carroll, at 212-621-1610, sending her an email at kcarroll@ap.org, and sending a letter to the editor of your local paper. To send a letter enter your zip code to the right.
FDL also gives you the opportunity to write a letter to the editor to your local paper, including draft LTEs to expedite the process. So head on over to the FDL action center today and make your voice heard!
