10. It never hurts to try..especially
Edited on Sat Mar-06-10 09:13 PM by Cha
with a well written letter like your's, Nancy.

"Just a few examples: there was the huge headline that blared across the top of the the Opinion section of the Sunday paper a few weeks ago that read something like Why Liberals are so Arrogant as if this is a given and we should just wonder why. Maybe if you had balanced it with something like Why Conservatives are so Stupid? No such luck."

That's their insult..the wapo does not even attempt to balance the propaganda.

"Let me be clear here. I am not an African American. I am not even a liberal, but more of a centrist Democrat. But First Lady Michele Obama is out in front of the cameras daily in order to enrich and support the lives of Americans in the best way she can. She is the first African American First Lady and has gotten a lot of heat, especially in the campaign, from the usual vicious detractors. She has had to deal with endless death threats sent to her family due to their very public position. For the Post to print this reprehensible letter is beyond the pale. I am very seriously considering canceling my subscription, after 25 years of reading it with my breakfast. If there were another local paper worth considering, I would cancel the Post today. I may just go to the internet and find my news if this kind of offensive blather continues to appear, week after week. Please tell your paper to wake up before it goes over a cliff. I am surely not the only one who feels this way."

There are so many of us who feel this way..and it is very very frustrating for the corporatemedia to be a big vicious lie machine for the gops and we have to be at their mercy. Another reason your letter is so important..and anyone's who contacts the "media" with their objections to the Manipulation and Manufacturing of the "news".
