6. Done
Sent e-mail to every one of those addresses.

My local NBC station (Houston) only has the AP story on the website, and you have to do a search to find it. It doesn't make state headlines or anything. They have not responded to the e-mail that I sent yesterday.

7. KICK, you see, this is why I watched Peter Jennings on World News...
they had the other side on to give their story. NBC is Defense Contractor TV.

13. Yep. Sound like those addresses are out-of-date
If Banfield refers to Ashley Banfield, she's no longer on MSNBC

If TheNews refers to "The News with Brian Williams", that show used to be on MSNBC and CNBC but is no longer.

If Nachman refers to Jerry Nachman, he's dead.

11. Is there a follow-up about the three shows that cancelled?
I read on Kos that they had cancelled without explanation.

14. To: today@nbc.com
How it is that Today’s Katie Couric can do a one-on-one exclusive interview with the runaway-bride, but your show cancels an interview with Cindy Sheehan? Is the runaway-bride more newsworthy than Cindy? Is the runaway-bride more courageous for talking about her "cold feet" than Cindy is for challenging the President of the United States to explain why we are still in Iraq after every reason he has given thus far has proved to be false? Or is it simply because GE owns your network and makes a handsome sum off of wars? I am astonished at the lack of integrity of your organization.

15. Here's mine...
"I hope this isn't true, but I read on the internet that you have decided not to cover Cindy Sheehan's story and have actually cancelled coverage you already had planned. Might I remind you that you are the network that gave "The Runaway Bride" not only daily coverage, but a one hour special on what was and still is a truly trivial story. Daily, the "Today Show" shows all of us just how biased your network is on any subject criticizing the Bush administration. If your producers cannot recognize a real story when they see it, your network is in danger of becoming even more trivial than The Runaway Bride. I know I will be tuning into Good Morning, America now because your network just doesn't deserve my attention anymore. Such a shame, you used to be a great network."

I also urge everyone to write to the media. If they want us to watch, they have to air what we are interested in. Simple.

18. My email to Paul Krugman

Dear Editor,

Why is the story about the Mother of the American Soldier who died in Iraq, Cindy Sheehan, being ignored by your group.

Maybe you could provide an answer to these questions:

1. Is it your company policy to ignore Cindy Sheehan?
2. Is it that your organisation is Jeff Gannon / James Guckert lite - rather GAY?
3. Do you have a special "exit poll" result that you feel is not quite fitting your facts?
4. Is that missing blonde girl in Aruba still your primary focus of "news"?
5. Have you got some extra news about Terri Schiavo that we should know?
6. Will Cindy Sheehan have to be a runaway bride to get your attention?

or

Is it that you are just a bunch of bullies and cowards (like Capt. Ken Vanek of the McLennan County (Texas) Sheriff's Office) , and have no backbone to stand up against this war criminal Bush fascist regime?

An answer would be greatly appreciated.

20. Cindy
As a mother I understand how this woman feels. I want to know why you are not covering this. As a citizen of this country why doesn't the president meet with her after all doesn't he work for her. Isn't he employed by the citizens of this country. Is he afraid to meet with her because he does not have an answer to her questions or is he just a coward. My vote is that he is a coward.
