Media Watch
The Lawrence County Democratic Party is currently pursuing a Media Watch Group.
What is a Media Watch Group?
We believe we have to hold the media accountable for their lies, inaccuracies, and myths they continually perpetuate against the Democratic Party.
In order to hold the media accountable, we will have to monitor the media and challenge their inaccurate reporting on the Democratic Party.
Mainstream Media (Radio, TV, Print)
When journalists write articles related to the Democratic Party we have to determine if it is honest journalism. If not, it needs to be challenged in a professional and articulate manner. Each member will send an email to the appropriate personnel in the media organization refuting the inaccuracies in the article. If the journalist does not acknowledge our response, we will take the issue to the editor of the publication.
Internet Websites, Message Boards, Blogs, and Email
There are shills on message boards that proliferate propaganda. They are there to represent and defend a viewpoint. They are playing to an uninformed audience. When the shills assert anti-Democratic Party lies and myths, we have to engage the shills with logical, factual, unemotional responses. If we take these measures, the audience can discern the facts from the myths.
Encouraging the Mainstream Media
We will write those in the mainstream media requesting that they write honest and fair articles regarding the Democratic Party. We will challenge them to do real journalism. We will also write to thank journalists who write honest articles about the Democratic Party.
