4. CNN is one of the few media's that has never replied back in person.
CNN must be protested directly.

10. Yes, I was contacted by the CNN security officer!
There was a full thread about it yesterday. I don't have time to fill in with the details right now. If you have search maybe you could find it.

16. Here is your thread from yesterday
I just read through it - I'm not sure if I am really surprised - which somehow feels wrong.

11. I've been emailing CNN about my displeasure of how they
were running things since they cancelled "The Spin Room". I have on rare occasions gotten a canned reply stating that they can't answer all emails, but would forward my letter to the producer who might be interested in what I have to say. However, nothing has been followed up on after that ever.

So out of maybe over a thousand plus emails that I have sent them over the years I have had four canned replies.

15. I know and it was really popular.
Yet, it gave liberals too big a voice, it seems, so they cancelled it and eventually eased Bill Press out of CNN altogether. But the PeeWee Herman of the RW, Tucker is still there, clown outfit and all.

17. And that is all you are going to get.
I don't know if you really insist, since I never have, if it may go a step further.

Ah well. We probably overloaded their responder system.

19. Oh you are so nice.
Even on a golf day, they don't respond that much. However, I wonder if the freepers or other likeminded right wing emailers get better responses than we do? I'll bet they do.

23. One thing...
just my take on it.

Recently, CSPAN covered a seminar with the head of CNN on the panel. He made a remark about Faux Views telling reporters how they should be reporting. (His quote about Faux Views was on DU). He also stated that they do not in any way tell their people at CNN 'how' they should report.

Sooooo....IMO, that opens the door to go directly to the reporter with a copy to Eason. Take the issue right into the email box of Wolf, Crowley, et al with a copy to Eason Jordan and force them to question whether they are being biased. Force them to open their eyes with clear documentation.

For instance, I heard today on CNN Jenna and Barbara described as "the Bush twins". While that's techinically correct, I had to wonder what adjectives would they use (if any) for Chris Heinz? In other words, there is a subliminal message of "Bush!! Bush!!" So, it's most effective if we take it to the reporter (with copy to superior).
