MAJOR ENCOURAGEMENT! Folks, here is a challenge for you--find out the name of your local tv station's general manager. Let them know you expect BALANCE in local coverage!

The kid who doctored the John Gibson audio is a blatant example, but perhaps it will help US put the spotlight of objectivity on ALL OF THE LOCAL BROADCASTERS.

Most reporters are relatively young with extremely liberal academic backgrounds. When you are able to find them being less than honest or forthright (and if anyone can spot reporters omitting crucial facts in a story, it is FREEPers!) then let's call them ON THE CARPET!

I suggest we call and write the station manager(s), and in a polite but firm way we let these businesses know we're watching and notice such actions.

Example: A couple years ago, I saw a newscaster read a story about a conservative local candidate. The newscaster, after saying something about the desires of the candidate, ROLLED THEIR EYES....it was an incredibly blatant show of disrespect by an "objective" reporter. I wrote the station manager and complained.

I watched the newscasts after my letter, and never saw another instance of such actions...

Let them know you're watching--be polite, and give them information they may have overlooked!

We must not let Hussein control all of the media.
