I have to share a story with... |
|
...all of you. My homepage (Time Warner Cable) was showing a picture of Obama with the headline "Obama Returns Home to Frosty Welcome" and linked to an AP article about his return...but the only 'frosty' thing in the article was McCain staff giving the usual spin.
Because I was irritated...I logged on to the TWC helpline chat and complained. I said (nicely) that the title was false and did not match the article. I said that the only frosty reception was from McCain, and that most people thought he had done great. They requested my personal info (which I had already given once), and then the guy typed that he agreed with me. Yaaay! He gave me some phone numbers and asked if he could do anything else. I told him I thought my message had been received and said thank you.
Here's the good part...when I went back to my home page, the headline AND the picture were already gone. GONE!
Yes we can...NEVER give up, guys!

2. that's great, i saw a similar thing somewhere |
|
it's only the right wing and their media supporters who have a problem with Obama and are trying to put as negative a spin on it as they can.
i just watched a segment on lou dobbs which was all bashing Obama.

...I've been out all afternoon and just returned home to find all your comments. It is a good feeling when a wrong is 'righted'...and so quickly. I was pretty surprised when 'Mike' said he agreed with me. :)
Anyway...I knew everyone here would understand how it felt. Thanks for the kind words.:grouphug:

It's nice to know somebody listens once in awhile. I'm used to saying something and hearing the response of some chirping crickets.

...that's why I was so surprised when the guy said he agreed with me about the headline.:) But the fact that he actually removed it was totally unexpected! Unexpected, but WONDERFUL! :)
Thanks, ladym55.
