To: Lando Lincoln
Jennings is poster boy for 'clueless'. He would not know 'ethical' if it bit him where it hurts.

I noticed on their radio news reports yesterday (same station as Rush) Petah Jennings gave more time to clips from liberal widows than he gave to clips from Rice's testimony.

Hey! Don't be so hard on Jennings!! Ted Koppel had Clarke on NightLie last night to do the whole dog and pony show all over again.
/sarcasm alert/
To: Lando Lincoln
Wait a minute--Clarke is exactly the guy who should be asked about Rice's testimony. Although he's made himself so much a part of the news that it might not be ethical for them to pay him.
To: Lando Lincoln
Called my local station and spoke to the news director about this BS. Initially, I got the "that's the national, we don't control" crap. I pointed out the conflicts and said, "I won't watch the national broadcast, I switched to cable. Once there, I don't tune back, so you're affected. Look around the newsroom at all the young people who won't have jobs because Jenning's antics are loosing you viewers."
There was a big change in the attitude after having said that.

To: Doctor Raoul
Good for you. I am continually amazed at the bias. Based on the 2000 election, and the current polling results, it seems pretty obvious that 50% of America:
Likes Pres. Bush
Is prepared to believe Dr. Rice
Supports our current efforts in the war against Terrorism
Supports our current effort in Iraq
And yet the Major News outlets take the attitude that 50% of their customer base can go take a flying leap. Seems ot me that's a lot like a retail store having a bouncer who tells every other approaching customer: "Get away! We won't serve your kind here!" I guess the News honchos care more about pushing their tired old ideology than they do about staying in business.

Lando, this from the network who presents former Clinton dog-robber George Stephenopolis as an unbaised talking head every Sunday morning...

I hope you're sitting down .. but ABC has been doing this EVER SINCE PETER JENNINGS HAS BEEN IN CHARGE OF THE NEWS.
Really .. I'm not kidding .. isn't that astounding?
And .. there's more .. if you can take it .. CBS and NBC and CNN and NPR and PBS ALL DO THE SAME THING! I know, I know .. it's so hard to believe {{sigh}}

I suggest sending this to Howard Kurtz. Although a lib, he's one of the minority of fair-minded indiviuals, and deals with journalistic issues on TV.

That is such a good point.
Just because you're a "network affiliate" - doesn't necessarily force you to take ALL their programming. At least that's the way it used to be.

It would be a lot more than 50% if the media weren't contantly hammering them with their leftist propaganda.

Good for you. People think it's something they can't do, but the truth is, they put their pants on one leg at a time like the rest of us. If you stay calm and rationale, they do listen.
I encourage everyone to do it too.

At least that's the way it used to be.In Philly, they're all "O&O", that is network owned and operated. However, they do talk to the network folks at meetings and I've had at least one Assistant General Manager promise me that he'd bring up my point to network management. They're (local management) are not looking to go out of business.

The Society of Professional Journalists Code of Ethics gives multiple reasons why this violates journalistic ethics: Well there is your problem right there! This Society must be obsolete now, because there are no journalists, or ethics in the media anymore.
The media, where former democrat policy makers go to be "objective consultants" on the way up to having their own shows.
