I just got off the phone with CBS Evening News.
Edited on Fri Sep-10-04 10:54 AM by DesertDem
I called them with he information uncovered by Lynnthedem about their so-called independent expert. She thanked me for calling and said they are being assaulted with negative calls. I sent a follow-up email containing links to the information so they can verify it themselves. Thanks, Lynnthedem, for doing the leg work! :toast:

If you want to make a difference, please call with any information you have that you think will be helpful. Their number is: (212) 975-3691. You can always follow-up with an email.

Edited with correct phone number. Sorry 'bout that.

5. Wrong phone number!
The person who answered sounded very harried and switched me to the operator. If you want, call the main line and ask for the evening news.

I told the woman who answered there that I thought they were head and shoulders above the other networks. She thanked me and gave me the following e-mail address.

evening@cbsnews.com

11. Called and e-mailed
IMHO, these guys are the best. They need to hear the positive as well as the negative.

12. I called and asked the lady to be sure to hug everyone at
CBS that she comes in contact with and to thank them for getting the truth out! She said the negative calls have been horrible and I told her that the negative folks can't handle the truth.

I told her CBS is the only media outlet concerned about the truth.

Folks call CBS and give them a hug. They deserve and need our support!

:grouphug: ::loveya: CBS!

14. Yes, CBS needs to hear from you
Edited on Fri Sep-10-04 12:35 PM by RedEagle
Apparently, they're getting a lot of calls that are just yelling and ranting.

If people can't ask intelligent questions or make intelligent remarks, there goes any credibility in my book.

We need CBS, tell them to keep forging on.

Do your part by supporting CBS programming, write to their advertisers, etc. Let them know you value a network with a news organization trying to get the truth out.


On edit:

This probably isn't so much about trying to discredit documents as it is trying to discredit CBS. As the only network making some attempt at journalism, the goal would be to try to discredit the whole news organization.

They need our support, please keep this thread kicked and let them know how much you appreciate them.

15. I emailed
and sent this info on to someone I know who has established friendly relationships with some on the news staff. She's been writing them for a long time and getting responses. She may be able to get through.
