PMSNBC and NBC carry his reports. I've just written to both and suggest everyone do the same. This slug deserves a rectal probing by a MOAB.

Sadly, like Time/Life, National Geographic has now completely succumbed to the loony left. The Grosvenors (and the Luces) are spinning in their graves.

My thoughts exactly. I will of course do my letter writing thing to National Geo - which by the way has become more and more politically correct aka leftist propaganda over the years.... But we need more than a few letters. How...when ...?

He's working for national Geographic TV AND NBC! Everytime Brokaw talks to someone in Bagdad, it's Saddam's stoolie Peter "Tail Wind" Arnett. FReep G.E. too if ya FReep National Geo.

I hope that no good conservative subscribes to that rag. It is by far one of the most biased, eco-kook media organizations of today. And, there is no wonder that their far left views on the environment align with the desire to employ a traitor and abettor to the enemy.

We should all call NBC and ask them why they are employing this century's Lord Haw Haw.

Darn, after months of procrastinating, I just renewed my subscription to Nat'l GEO [mainly to get the map of Iraq so I could follow the war] and now I'm gonna have to stop payment on the check. [well, maybe after I get the map... he he]

Dear National Geographic Explorer,

Peter Arnett is a disgrace to America. His job is to report the news, not spread propaganda for the enemy on Iraqi TV. I will resign my membership in the National Geographic Society and I will stop watching MSNBC and NBC if you continue to employ this person. Arnett has stepped way over the line, and it's time for NGE and MSNBC to do what's right. If you don't I will join the mass exodus to FoxNews and I will encourage all of my family, friends and colleagues to do the same. I will post my response to his "interview" on activist websites.
Mainstream America is tired of this kind of behavior and we will be heard!
Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Chrystal Leamon

My husband is cancelling his NG subscription first thing in the morning, I've emailed MSNBC and sent a scathing message to Arnett's message board at msnbc.com.

NBC's message that Arnett was just extending a professional courtesy to Iraqi television doesn't cut it. NBC, MSNBC, and National Geographic should hear from us until they fire Arnett's ugly ass, and denounce what he said.

happygrl asks:   "Could we start a FREEP on [National Geographic Magazine]?"

A freep wouldn't phase them a bit. They were taken over by the radical left 10-20 years ago. I grew up on that magazine and can even remember when all the photos were black and white, but when they went over to the dark side, I stopped subscribing. No surprise at all that they picked up Arnett's contract.

Maybe it's time to suggest to Arnett that it would not be in his best long-term best interests to return to American soil after the war. Perhaps he and Robert Fisk could move to Lichtenstein and get married, instead.
