That said. . .the more sinister collusion here; it appears to me, anyway; is that while many letters are written; few in fact are chosen - for publication. Ellie surpassed the odds; and big time.
I want to know 'how' it is; her/his. . .letters were chosen. . .across our Country; across the board/so to speak. What are the frickin odds here (not good) unless of course, there was some up front 'local' cooperation.
There is a big story bigger than 'Light' . . .Ellie Light; her/HIMself/sigh. . .
You are saying what I've been thinking. Ellie Light got picked up by 68 newspapers because "she" was saying what the editors wanted to say but didn't dare..
How many total letters were sent? How were the addresses chosen? Is this the first time?
The letter writer is an "out of work" artist waiting for a determination on a workers comp case in California, married to a nurse living in Texas. They have two homes. wow! This could be a whole series on one of the networks.
Someone, a Journalist, (if there are any left)need to do a "rest of the story" on this one.
