One thing we could do...

Assalamu alaikum
If you've been following the news on CNN.com or MSNBC.com, and I'm sure on other websites and TV as well, you'll see that they all still insist on translating "Jihad" (which the Taliban said to prepare for) as "holy war".  We should write them all and ask them why they insist on doing that, after so many people have given the correct definition (struggle) to every form of mass media.  I already wrote to CNN, and I really want an answer!

Whew! Thanks Ahmer, you saved me a lot of work :)
I actually just go to their websites and look for their feedback section.  CNN has a thing called Ask CNN, and they supposedly answer either on TV or on their website.  We'll see...

You know what?  I take it back.  Don't even bother.  All you'll get is an automated response, IF that.  They don't read their emails anyway.

You get an automated response, but somewhere down the line people do look at the feedback.
