As Campaign '08 comes to a dramatic close are you as bored, frustrated and often outraged as we are about the blizzard of totally predictable media bloviating that seems to blanket us 24/7? Then help fight back by enlisting in the growing army of HuffPost's OffTheBus citizen reporters. After you sign up for our Special Ops reporting team, we'll be issuing weekly assignments targeted at your local communities. Our ranks are open to everyone, everywhere, but we're especially interested in those living in battleground states who can regularly report. And those who are adventurous, curious, and passionate about communicating their observations and experiences to a national audience.
By working together and going around the tired Conventional Wisdom of the MSM, we can enrich the political and media debate with the perspectives of actual citizens, not just the high-paid hostages on those sealed-off campaign buses. Just recently our citizen journalists scrutinized and compared the Obama and McCain campaign offices in Arizona. They unpacked the players at a Women for Obama rally in Michigan. And they went to a little-covered event rally with Howard Dean, who promised that the ground troops will come through on November 4 for Obama.
So sign up now to start spending less time moaning about the media and a lot more time time becoming it. The only requirements are that you commit to a weekly reporting assignment. In return, we'll publish reports that meet our standards at HuffPost's OffTheBus, and the best here on HuffPost's homepage.
