Open Letter to Cable News Personalities

By:

You have really made me angry tonight. It is my opinion that your "opinions" of Senator Clinton's Bosnia trip, have gotten old and I am sure many viewers agree with me. Do you realize how very "silly" your "news" stories are becoming on this one "news" item. You are all just nothing but "gossip" reporters.

Have none of you ever exaggerated a story in order to prove a point? Frankly, I believe you do it every night. What is the point of this "news" story about Clinton and Bosnia? She is not basing her whole foreign policy experience on that one trip; she is just telling a story. She has probably told it a thousand times over the years and the times I have seen her tell it; it is quite a funny story. Have you never told a funny story and as the years go by, you add to the story to better make your point? Sure you have, I watch you do it every night.

Chris Matthews: Lighten up Chris! Why don't you "report" the positive side of Clinton's trip? For example, just the fact that she was in Bosnia is an interesting "news" item. Did Clinton perhaps carry any "message" from our President to the President of Bosnia or the negotiators? Why don't you "report" on her meeting the soldiers in Bosnia and how much she cares about our soldiers? And the refugees, talk about them; did she meet them and speak with any of them?

Keith Olbermann: Why don't you "report" where the video came from? Who taped the video? Who edited the video? It was edited; my old eyes with my bifocals can even see that. Was the video taken on the tarmac or in front of the base? Who verified that? Who is your facts checker?

Mr. O'Reilly: What did the pilot tell Clinton about snipers in the hills? What were the pilot's instructions to Clinton and the people with her? Has anyone "interviewed" the pilot to ask him "exactly" what he told his passengers? What was the pilot's name?

Sean Hannity and Alan Colmes: Why don't you "gossip" about whether Clinton had a bullet proof vest under the long coat she was wearing? How many Secret Service agents were surrounding her and her daughter? Why don't you "speculate" whether she was scared of any danger or concerned for her daughter's safety?

All of you; stop "talking" or "reporting" or giving your "opinions" on a story about something that your viewers are tired of! Don't be so extremely negative all the time. Now, I do realize that the 24/7 news cycles have changed the way that the news is "reported" and perhaps you often need to "speculate" and "gossip" to make your interview shows more interesting; but you are "beating a dead horse" on this story. (And no, I am not saying that people are tired of Hillary nor am I comparing her to a dead horse!)

Do something useful, like "vet" Obama so our country doesn't elect another arrogant, inexperienced President. All of you are acting like "love sick" teenagers when it comes to Senator Obama.

Of course, all of this is just my "opinion" but then I don't claim to be a news journalist either.

Cyber cops face a tough challenge By: Aran Lackey - At the beginning of October, Policing Minister Vernon Coaker announced the launch of a new £7m policing unit to tackle cyber crime and Internet fraud. But while the Police Central e-crime Unit (PCeU) was welcomed in some quarters, there have already been concerns voiced by politicians, IT experts and businesses about the relatively small amount of funding available to target a multi-billion pound criminal industry, and questions over the Government's real level of commitment to cracking down on Internet crime.

Open Letter to President Elect Obama By: BOB E SHERMAN - Dear President Elect Obama: As you have hopefully inspired many Afro Americans to aspire to greater goals; I have been inspired by George Bush and Sarah Palin. I now believe that I am smart enough to be President. I realize that there are many people in Congress smarter than I, but few with as much common sense. Please keep this in mind as you read my “vision” for America. Taxes: Generally raising taxes in a bad economy is not a good idea. However, we do have a $10 trillion debt. We can’t reduce the debt by lowering taxes.

Political Satire - America's Presidential Election Coverage Is Biased and Steeped in Stupidity By: Ed Bagley - Copyright © 2008 Ed Bagley Those of us who have suspected that the media coverage of the 2008 Presidential Race has not been fair now have a study to validate our suspicions. The Center for Media and Public Affairs spent the past two months monitoring comments by sources, voters, reporters and anchors that aired on evening newscasts at America's three main national networks (ABC, CBS and NBC) and documented what many of us already knew. Comments made about Barack Obama reflected positively about Obama in 65% of the cases whereas comments made about John McCain reflected positively about McCain in 31% of the cases.

Why climate change is not worth worrying about By: Sam Deane - Worrying about climate change? Concerned about running out of traditional fossil fuels like petrol and gas? Well, frankly, I don't blame you. The entire content of our news feeding media gives us a daily repertoire of bleak doom and gloom. A long time ago, media and sales agencies came to the conclusion that 'fear aids the sale'. There can be no better way to have people rush to the shop than to fill them with fear of what might happen if they don't buy that product today. Scarcity is commonly known to be one of the best sales aids.

Global Warming: An Introduction By: Simon Rosser - The term Global Warming has been in common usage for some time and usually refers to recent warming of Earth's atmosphere,which also implies a manmade or human influence.

Picks for the first Obama Cabinet By: James Darnell - Now that President-elect Obama has the election out of the way and a mandate to govern this nation with a new style. Here's an independent's view of what his cabinet should look like: Secretary of State: I would love to see someone out of the ordinary for this pick. A favorite Democrat of mine is Gary Locke, former governor of the state of Washington. He decided in 2003 not to seek a 3rd term and has largely been out of the limelight since 2005 when he left office. But he has largely worked on Chinese-American issues and would make a great envoy to other nations.

Barack Obama's supports renewable energy, shouldn't you? By: Chris McGee - Years ago the Clinton's supported renewable energy which focuses on energy that is replaced as it is being used, such as solar energy and wind energy. The energy issue was hot politics then and is still hot politics now. Bill Clinton talked about how it would rock the world to make one entire country or U.S. state completely carbon neutral, reliant only on self-produced renewable power and efficiency. There is a new energy plan for America ...
