I just wrote this letter to Fox-6 News in Milwaukee...how is it? |
|
I stayed up last night to watch the segment on Fahrenheit 911.
I must say that for a segment that was supposed to show how slanted the movie is supposed to be the segment was no less slanted.
True news reporting means you talk to both sides of the story not just one. It's a shame. I used to think that Channel 6 had integrity. Now I see that it's no better than it's parent company, Fox News, at being a right-wing propaganda machine.

1. What did they say about F911? Just out of curiosity. |
|
Your letter is good. Short and to the point.

3. They had two interviews... |
|
Both of them talked about how slanted the movie was. They said that just because there was business relations with Saudi Arabia it didn't mean that Bush was chummy with them (paraphrasing because I was tired when I watched it). There was something else but I was too busy screaming at the screen to hear it.

6. Slanted, maybe. Factual, absolutely. |
|
I notice how the RW mantra of attack the messenger is in full swing.
I would call dinner with Bandar Bush days after 9-11, CHUMMY!

What did they say, the bastards? Did they take a cue from the rightwing talking point fax/flyer going around?

4. Wow! I am in Waukesha right now |
|
in fact, my motel is right across the road from the Marcus Cinema, which is showing F/911. Did not catch the segment on F/911, but that is a good letter. Summerfest tonight btw. Candye Kane, Salt Creek, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, good night of music. I better get off the public Library computer now.

5. Considering how much money Marcus has donated to Bush... |
|
I'm honestly surprised that they're showing the movie.

7. Some suggested changes |

I stayed up last night to watch the segment on Fahrenheit 911.
(Careful here: "stayed up" implies you had a special and thus biased interest in the issue.)
(Strike: I must say that) Ironically, your segment that claimed to show how slanted the movie was itself no less slanted.
True journalistic integrity means reporting on both sides of the story, not just one. This is shameful. I used to think that Channel 6 had professional ethics. Now I see that it's no better than its ("its", possessive, not "it's", it is) parent company, Fox News: both are right-wing propaganda machines.

Didn't even notice the 'its' part. Thank you.
