I firmly believe in writing emails, making telephone calls and writing letters, if they don't give "fair and balanced" news.
And lately, I've noticed that they are 'fair and balanced' more in Kerry's favor than the President's. They show 30 seconds of Dubya, and the next 5 minutes of JFnKerry. Oh yea, I really want to see "Mr. Botox" and hear him droooooooone on. One of the stock-market analysts on the Saturday Morning shows on Fox said that "First of all, we can't have a President who sounds as boring as Kerry, and second, who puts people to sleep in the first 12 seconds, or makes them want to change the channel!"
A couple of weeks ago, they broke away after about 2 minutes of the President's speech, to cover the Kobe Bryant "appearance". Oh yeah, I really wanted to see that more than I wanted to see the President.
I fired off an email to Fox News, expressing that they just had lost their "sense of balance" if they thought it was more important to cut off the President in order to be able to show Bryant appearing at the Court House. I suggested that if they felt the obligation to carry some things "live", could they at least tape the President's speech and have the courtesy to show it, in it's entirety a little later in the hour?
I haven't caught every speech by the President since then, but the two I did, I noticed they stayed with the President until a hard break at the top of the hour, when I knew they had to cut away.
So, I think that emailing, calling, writing letters WORKS!!
If enough of us do it, it has to make an impact.
It's as if Fox can't make up its mind on how to treat the President, like they have two streams of thought instead of one policy and they keep getting jerked off course from "fair and balanced" depending on who's running the control room.
