It seems that in the last two days, everytime I switched on ABC News coverage, Peter Jennings was spewing some criticism of the president. Now I like Canadians just as much as the next guy but I've had just about a belly-full of this assho!e. And I'm sure I'm not alone.
Email ABC News by clicking here and let them know that you don't appreciate some high school drop-out like Peter Jennings criticizing your president when Jennings isn't even a citizen of the United States.
Dear Sirs,
It was one thing trying to overlook Peter Jennings' obvious partisanship during the general election, but his blatant criticism last evening of everything from President Bush's intelligence to his bravery during this national crisis is the final straw.
I am instructing our webmaster to devote a prominent portion of our company web site to encouraging other Americans who are similarly offended by Jennings' anti-Americanism to contact your sponsors regularly, clearly advising them of why we will no longer be buying their products.

I want you to know that I find Peter Jennings to be vile scum for his using a national tragedy such as this to make partisan potshots at our President. He is second only to the evil who perpetrated the cowardly act! I will be making a list of your sponsors and will be contacting them with plans of organizing a boycott against their products.

in regard to violence against Arab/Muslim Americans (which is condemnable)......
Loosely quoted
"Ask any cop in America and they will tell you that Arab-Americans are as law abiding as any other minority group, have unusually strong family values and most of them vote Republican"
I find it inexplicable that ABC would point out that they "vote Republican"
Their hated of Bush seems to be reaching that of some Aarabs for the USA. (IMHO)
Something is worng at that network. Something odd. There is a pro-terrorist bias in their reporting. Incredible.
I have been appalled by Mr. Jennings' coverage of the terrorist attacks. First, his attacks on President Bush's stops before returning to Washington were simply uncalled for. Perhaps, he did not have all the information that the President and the Secret Service had. Such petty criticism was despicable.
Then, to add insult to injury, Mr. Jennings' disgracefully criticized Mr. Fleisher's explanation regarding the possible attack on the White House.
I realize that Mr. Jennings does not have the same admiration for President Bush which he had for former President Clinton. I wonder if its because he is no longer getting inside information from the current husband of his former wife (Ambassador Holbrook) -- a conflict of interest which he never disclosed on television.
Perhaps, if Mr. Jennings is unhappy of the direction with this country, he can remember that he is a guest here and can always return to his home country.
After the last two days, I plan to never watch ABC news again except to gather the names of advertisers to write complaint letters to them.
BTW, loved my form response from ABC.
Freeped 'em...
It is easy to avoid believing the reality that so many Americans are not only not patriots, they are idiots. Products of the last thirty-five years of government schooling and indoctrination, they have no clue about what America really stands for.
Our country is in serious trouble when people - including the Jennings and Matthews of our Not Ready for Prime Time Media - do not understand why the safety of the president is paramount. They are walking MORONS.
Eisner probably lectures that stuffed shirt Canadian, Jennings for being too conservative.
We are at war, for all intents and purposes. Please remove Peter Jennings from the air for the duration. He has done nothing but attempt to undermine the effectiveness of the government and instill doubt of the President's leadership. As an AMERICAN broadcasting network, you have a responsibility to this nation. Please demonstrate it.
