Thank you for this post.
Bump and ping.
Worth a look. One of the best done TV news pieces I’ve seen in a long time.

Great story, even though I thought it was about ending bailouts when I clicked on it!
One suggestion, write not one letter but two: the ADVERTISERS need the positive feedback...which will most definitely be communicated to their ad agencies...which then gets to the publisher and then the editorial side of the publication. This is the positive reverse of a boycott. Now is the time.
Sent this email to the reporter:
Mr. Keefe
I am writing in response to your piece on “Active Killers.”
Someone pointed it out to me as an example of work done by an actual, HONEST journalist. To my surprise, my informant was completely right. I want to thank you for the research you did on your piece and the honest way you presented it. I am really appalled that I find it needful to commend someone for honest reporting, but in this day of such flagrantly biased “journalism,” honesty such as yours does occasion comment and deserves to be noted.
I am your basic retired old mud Marine, who thinks that what I was protecting and defending for all my time in the Corps was the God-given right of all of us to speak our minds honestly and defend ourselves in whatever manner suits each individual from predators and aggressors of all stripes. Little did I realize, in my naive youth, that there were so many who actively wanted to dismantle that protection and the rights inherent in it for whatever is on their agenda. Now it galls me beyond belief that not only are such people in OVER abundance, but they have the active help of those who call themselves unbiased observers. So it amazes and gratifies me immensely when someone, such as yourself, comes along and tells the WHOLE story in an honest manner. I commend you, sir, and I thank you mightily for that characteristic which, it would appear, our modern schools could not beat or shame or whatever out of you. Thank you very much.
Very truly,
