[In mourning for six years]

Good letter, and I agree with you about most journalists. What exactly did Shep say about dead journalitsts? I know that last evening he seemed very upset by a letter that he recieved from a viewer saying that the viewer did not feel sorry for the dead reporters. I was going to stay up and listen, but I was much too tired. Shep annoys me most times--he seems to be a whiney leftist.

I don't know what Shep you are listening to, but the I listen to has been extremely supportive of Bush and the war.

Even though I have utter disdain for many reporters, I don't think it is apporpriate to rejoice in the deaths of those killed in this war.

He let the e-mailers have it. He went off on them like Neil does to France. Then he started talking about the virtues of Freedom of the Press and how important they are to guard against government fed propaganda.

I like the idea of the embedded journalists, but most media and people have forgotten that there is a difference between journalists and columnists. They've blended the two.

And if the "elite" media is going to try to create ditto drones out of its viewing public, then it becomes all the more imperative that all the views be heard, that stations with other viewpoints be encouraged to grow.

I mean, isn't that the reason Clinton went after Microsoft? Because Libbers don't like monopolies? Unless, of course, they're the ones with the monopoly.
