My letter to Chuck Todd.
Edited on Fri Jul-24-09 12:33 AM by FrenchieCat
He responded to my last letter, so it is evident that he reads his emails....as most self adoring talking heads just might.

Dear Mr. Todd,

Health Care is not a Washington Parlor Game; but if it were a game, it would be one of Life and Death and nothing else. The lack of any balanced coverage of those Americans who have either been denied coverage, have been bankrupt by health related tragedies, are paying more than they can afford for below par insurance, or have no health care insurance at all, remains the untold story.

I must point out how unfortunate and shameful it is to witness the blatant attempts by the media to influence the populace, play gotcha games, and use disinformation and omission instead of informing them. How can these type of media folks sleep at night or look at their children in the eyes and believe they have done good? It is simply mind blowing. I am quite depressed by what I see displayed on Cable News; cold, detached, calculating, superficial and agenda driven mean rich people. Now I see what Mr. Cronkite was speaking of when he stated that he liked seeing a little bit of news in the news, and there wasn't any there days.

How it is that some who work for large corporations and therefore have cheap health insurance could be so numb and blind to the plight of those who are less fortunate turns my stomach.

Sincerely,
XXXXXXXXX

4. Nicely done Frenchie. As I've said previously
we need someone in the news to actually cover this story.
