If you feel that pigs with lipstick and Paris Hilton have
hijacked our political debate this election season, you’re not alone.
This Friday, you can help get the media back on track when PBS's
Jim Lehrer hosts the first presidential debate. We need 3,000 people to use our
online tool to instantly rate how well the media moderates and reports on the
debates.
Sign Up to
Rate the Debates as They Happen
Your ratings will be immediately reported back to members of the
press as soon as the debates are finished -- allowing you to weigh in before
the spin cycle gets out of control.
Will the media cover the issues that are most important to you?
Will they focus on trivial issues? Will they ask tough questions?
RatetheDebates.org
will help reporters focus on real issues like the economy over campaign gossip
and candidate gaffes. Now more than ever, we need the media to be the
watchdogs of our democracy.
Debates are marquee moments in American elections. The few
journalists selected to participate -- and the media narrative that follows --
will play a defining role in determining our next president.
Measure the
Media: Sign Up to Rate the Debates
This Friday is the first of four presidential and vice
presidential debates. Please sign up to rate the debates in real time.
We deserve real political discourse. I hope you will take
this rare opportunity to join us as we hold our media -- and through them, our
leaders -- accountable.
Thank you,
