This is what I sent to them. I wrote Headline News when they announced that they hired Beck.
What happened to Headlines News? I used to look forward every morning to watching Robin Meade. Now, I get nautious every time she has her little segment with Glenn Beck. I either turn the channel or place it on mute.
I refuse to watch your channel in the evenings now that you have dumped real news for Glenn Beck, Nancy Grace, and the Entertainment Tonight Clone.
How can you hire someone such as Glenn Beck who stated that he was sick of the 9/11 families? Here are some more quotes from Mediamatters.org:

I will be sure to ask my local cable company to include BBC America and CBC - since I now have to go abroad for a decent news source.
