Kitty Kelly Today Show Email Campaign...

SCOOP RECEIVED THE FOLLOWING TWO LETTERS TO THE EDITOR TODAY... A PATTERN IS EMERGING

Kitty Kelly interview
Date sent: Thu, 9 Sep 2004 08:39:43 -0400

Dear sir or madam:

As a long time viewer of the Today Show, I was dismayed to read in the
Washington Post that the Today Show would be doing multiple interviews
of Kitty Kelly's book about the Bush family. I think this is unfair,
and until the election is over, it's Good Morning America for me.

Thank you.
Elaine Mannen

Can't believe the Today Show is giving all that time to Kitty Kelley. One
morning, maybe, but all week? Oh sure, Laura Bush sold drugs. Do they
really think anybody believes that? She has a 70% approval rating! Or
that Nancy Reagan was hot for Ol Blue Eyes? Everybody knows that Kitty
writes fiction. It's obvious that the networks would sell their souls to
make it all true. This is why Fox News beats them all. Fair and
balanced. I see the nets did not learn their lesson from Fox' success.
That's a good thing if it means the old condescending, doomsday-mouthing,
smug anchor/newsreaders get canned.

If you are not the right one to receive this email, I do hope you'll
forward it, or let me know.

Thank you so much,
Linda Johnson

1. ha! writer number 2 was off her talking points

and her meds...

mentioning Fox is not going to help their cause one iota...

[wurzel]

2. If you have a 70% approval rating you couldn't have sold drugs?

I can't connect the dots.

[Iris]

6. My thoughts exactly.

When, oh when, will people realize just because someone is popular doesn't mean they are right (or perfect or beyond reproach)?

3. Are they really having her on for a week?

I'm sure the Today Show received a lot of these letters, but I hope they also got a lot from others saying GREAT, BRING IT ON!

I must say I'm surprised that they would have her on for an entire week.

4. 3-part interview

didn't say which days...

[Shallah Kali]

5. has anyone entertained the thought of a campaign to promote Kelley's book

asking all the media who gave time to the Not-So-Swiftvets equal time to Kelley? They should give the same treatment to Kitty Kelley they gave the gop operatives

[Iris]

7. "Everybody knows that Kitty"

Then what difference does it make?

"This is why Fox News beats them all. Fair and
balanced. I see the nets did not learn their lesson from Fox' success"

Does she know that Fox News doesn't "beat" the networks?

[Vickers]

8. Hey, what's a good email addy for the Today Show? I'll write and tell

them that I'll be watching it all week.
