2. Nothing wrong with sharing our opinion.
The network makes it's money on viewership....not the message. Lets not mesh free speech into the corporate media equastion......It has always been about the money.

3. nothing wrong with sharing our opinion with the network
or with the sponsors of the show. but i guess i have a hard time with those who think if they don't agree with the view of a show than that show should be cancelled.

5. Corporate Media is an exception to this rule....
in my opinion. They function to control a message to benefit the corporation's financial outlook........It barely resembles journalism at this point. The color of yellow is what they say and write today based upon assigned talking points by the corporate republican machine....It is a journalistic illusion....A "Penn and Teller" style of reporting.

7. he's been going overboard, bigtime, pushing a bunch of....
...rightwing Christian hate and bigotry that is as bad if not worse than O'Reilly's. Its very obvious that he's part of the white house cheerleaders with all their faith based broohaha that is going to infiltrate all schools. They've printed up all these text books that teach kids that there never was evolution but creation instead. Kind of like the Flintstones.

12. Yes, I think the "morals" ruse is just the current gop distraction
The media will report on that rather than the failed Iraq war, the deficit, etc.

9. I check out all of the stations because I know the white house...
...uses the shows to introduce policies and wage opinion by the public. I can't tell you how many times I've watched MSNBC or FOX and they show their playing hand before going public on a wide scale on some kind of crazy christian nonsense. UN Oil for Food is a good example. They kept floating it on those shows.

11. this is a copy of the letter I sent them last night...
Dear sirs,
After a whole week dedicated to Pat Buchanan's Christian extremist fascism and bigotry, I must say I am extremely disappointed. It is deplorable that you allow such blatant propaganda and misleading reporting by Pat Buchanan. I used to think your station was legitimate compared to the psy-ops practiced regularly on Fox, but now I see your in the same cesspool.


Why don't we have a true and honest look at this Christian crusade youre on? I have a story, which is one of many, on what is really going on behind the scenes. Firstly a story on Washington Times owner Rev. Moon and his increasing influence on the media and the republican party. How about the fact that Moon has funded North Korea to build nukes, was in prison in 1982, and is very friendly with the Bush's? Why don't you quit playing games and get to the core of what this is all about.

13. Why not the FCC ?
Just a thought. I heard recently that a parents group is responsible for 99% of the complaints that the FCC gets about "morals". Last time I checked, isn't LYING and the LYING LIARS about "morals" too ?

I'm all for free speech, but not when it comes to defamation and character assassination:mad:
