My letter to CBS

You have an anchor Dan Rather that has attended college and I would suspect,his major was journalism.The object of an anchor is to report the news,without any of their own feelings inserted into what they are reporting.Tonight(3-4-04)Dan Rather forgot what he was taught about reporting.By inserting his own feeling,he was showing us not the news,but his point of view.I do not care what Dan Rather thinks about a certain situation.What I do care about is watching the news and forming my own opinion about the topic that is being discussed.If news is to be reported with everyone giving their own opinion ,then it is not news.It may as well be Jerry Springer,Oprah or any other talk show.It is obvious that Mr.Rather does not like this President and maybe if he can't contain his feeling he should step aside and let someone else anchor the news that can.Please tell Mr.Rather that I as an American will always remember September 11th.I also remember a President that brought this nation together to get us through this horrific event,he did not play political games,he set a course to eliminate those who brought this event on us.He has every right in the world to remind American of that event and the consequences of what happens when you look the other way while terrorist are plotting.Mr.Rather how many Americans died in Vietnam?I do not hear your complaining about the thousands of times John Kerry has used his Vietnam references for political gain.So Mr Rather do everyone a favor and keep your opinions to yourself.We can form our own thank you!

Thanks for writing. We must let them know that we are taking note of their bias.

However, I believe these so called journalists will be a source of determination to get out and vote.

Rather and a few other 'journalists' have announced that they will be retiring AFTER the election. They feel they have nothing to lose if their bias is blatant and they will do all in their power to influence the election.

We must do all in our power to see that President Bush is re-elected.

I contacted CNN today and made two calls to congress.

Every day we must take the opportunity to speak up, write, or call our elected officials.
