Contact the M$M About Not Reporting The Articles of Impeachment Being read by Kucinich
I just sent this email below to the vice president in charge of news at MSNBC - Here: phil.griffin@nbc.com

Please send him an email asking him why there is nothing on his news channel about the impeachment going on in the House.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Mr. Griffin,

Why is MSNBC not reporting the 35 articles of impeachment being read by Dennis Kucinich on the floor of the House?

Why?

You do still report NEWS do you not?

The media is a joke and this is exactly why. If you do not let people know what is going on then it's like it never happened.

Do you give everyone a free pony in Magic Pony Land?

1. Dear Mr. Griffin
Dennis Kuchinich presented 35 Articles as Evidence for the Impeachment of George W. Bush this evening.
Really, your news organisation ought to get with it and report the NEWS.
This is good news for many citizens in this country of ours.
Maybe you are asleep... that's forgivable.
But now you know.
Go REPORT it.
Thank you very much.

2. Thanks for the e-mail address. This is what I wrote:
OK, can you please tell me the reason MSNBC didn't bother to report that Dennis Kucinich read the Articles of Impeachment against Bush and Cheney today in the House of Representatives? Call me old fashioned, but I think this is newsworthy. I understand that lying about a BJ with an intern is much more titillating news than lying about WMD or outing a CIA agent, but nevertheless, this is news. Whatever happened to the reporters and news programs that actually reported news instead of covering for a corrupt administration? No wonder I get most of my news from the internet

7. Hey...
Do you work for MSNBC?

They didn't cover it when the same thing happened to Cheney.

My choice of words not withstanding - if the prick gets a hundred emails he will begin to wonder why they are not covering a news story.

Maybe you should sit right down and write the Republican POS a note telling him that not covering a major story is right out of magic pony land. You know?

NOT REAL.

10. But then
they would have all of my PERSONAL INFORMATION....

Tell you what, YOU file it with your address and phone number.

I believe the FCC is the closest thing to Satan except for Dick Cheney.

14. thats funny
You could put in fake contact info.

I already sent mine in. If you are under the radar than don't send anything in.
But my info is already aout there. I have a driver's license and I sign all kinds of petitions, been arrested, etc. so the FCC form is pretty simple for me.

15. Seriously?
file a complaint with the FCC because MSNBC, a cable outlet not subject to their jurisdiction, isn't covering this non-story?

16. It is only
a non story becauase the MSM is not reporting it.

I have seen a fucking squirrel on water skis every year for like 10 years on MAJOR NETWORK NEWS.

It is a real piece of news.

Just like when Bubba was IMPEACHED.

23. Actually, I sent complaint on Local Network Channel
The local networks should be covering news. They use our airwaves for free. We have the right to complain. Their licenses are up for renewal.

9. The best way is have a copy of the articles delivered to his desk.
Emails are easily deleted and forgotten.

21. Yes, having them have to handle a large cumbersome
document makes it harder for them to ignore in good conscience.

11. Here's what I just sent him:
Dear Mr. Griffin,

Why did you not spend ANY time at all on Ohio Rep. Kucinich's reading of 35 Articles of IMPEACHMENT into the Congressional Record?

It's not news? Every one of these articles focused on a far more egregious violation of the law than a guy caught lying about cheating on his wife. For heaven's sakes! WHERE ARE YOU GUYS? Do you cover? Or do you just cover up?

PLEASE!!! It does beg the question whose side you're on, and whose interests you serve...

Sincerely and with GRAVE disgust,

(me)

13. Most excellent!
Now make sure all of your commie friends get an email from you, urging them to write their own note... because at least TASS reported BIG news.

:hi:

22. I tried the soft approach
Mr. Griffin
I always turn to NBC for my national news,as I have found your news team to be the most professional and informed.I was shocked to hear NO coverage of the introduction of the articles of impeachment by Rep. Dennis Kucinich.You owe it to yourself and America to listen to these,and report them.America deserves to hear the truth about this corrupt administration.
Please show that NBC is truly the best news team in America.Cover these without spin.Our nation is in dire straits.
Thank you.
