| A suggestion for dealing with sold out media people |
|
Compose one standard email the mail message of which is that 'you are a coward with no integrity and I will not even recognise you are writing ideas worth considering until you start doing your job and reporting the news'. Make sure you send it out (with appropriate small modificataion at least 5 times a day.
Here's my own sample (written to Bill Steigerwald for his attack on Olbermann):
Dear Bill, Get a spine, you gutless buttkisser. And if you must slither around, at least have the decency not to disrespect your betters like Keith Olbermann who do have spines.

| 2. I think that would be a legit label for many......... |
|
........ but very few of the media even know what fascism is or propaganda for that matter. They'd just blow it off as 'commie or liberal words'. I don't think they'd know what you were saying. Of course if you're emailing William Kristol or someone that actually has a brain albeit a sick twisted one.
On the other hand, everybody knows what a coward is, or a bum, or a traitor, or a buttkisser. ANd no one whats to be called those things.
I might add a few lines explaining what duty is. How a soldier has a duty, and a fireman has a duty and yes, even a journalist has a duty which is to investigate matters of public interest and report the truth to the people. Right now when your'e needed most, you're not doing you duty. And until you do I treat you like the slime you are.
Finally there are a lot of journalists that I don't agree with but express a well thought out point of view that's different than mine. I respect them and I respect there point of view. If I email them it will be to change their mind by the strength of my arguments.
