Kwame Kilpatrick's staff is encouraging Detroiters to "push back" against what they contend is unfair media coverage of the embattled mayor. Kilpatrick's spokeswoman insists there's nothing wrong with using city hall phones and fax machines to have residents to respond to the so-called Media Watch campaign. "It's our job to monitor the press," she says. "People call us all the time. I don't think that's a misuse of city funds. It's part of our job."
