They are all so well trained to say and do just what is asked of them. I think I will write them to check out the message boards there and to check with AARP as to how many members they have lost today.

2. Disagreement with the corp. agenda...
isn't reported. I looked at the AARP message board and most posts I read were negative and expressed disgust of the sellout of seniors.

I did check a site with which I wasn't familiar, called TVLies or TVMedia Lies. It states in black and white what I've thought for some time - we ain't getting all the news here. I saw it posted here in another thread.

(sarcasm on)
Just focus on Michael Jackson and Scott Peterson and Kobe Bryant. Those are the important stories (sarcasm off).

3. Backlash
I am aware of the backlash here, but is there any evidence of backlash from any other place?

4. Go to the AARP message boards, find the Medicare section..
Or any section. Go to www.congress.org and a lot of messages are being posted there. I know my congressmen's phones are very busy, and I had a wait time with them.

6. Backlash
I meant, has the outrage expressed on the AARP message board been picked up anywhere?

7. Probably not yet, likely on purpose.
I wrote CNN, MSNBC, and posted a letter at congress.org trying to get publicity.

They will have to get a lot of letters though.

9. Kicking and hoping some of the rest of you wrote them.
If enough people write them, they may decide to be honest and cover it.

10. Tweety never covers these issues....forget educating...just duping the
sheeple.... let's talk about gay marriage on all channels. The point is medicare reform is going for a vote in a democracy people should be informed so they can voice their opinions
