memos letters to media
Ok just blasted some media outlets wiht this.. not that they truly care

*****************

Coverage in the media has concentrated on type faces, and whether TNR existed in 1973. It did, as it was invented in 1931

What matters in these MEMOS is the CONTENT of the memos. We the people, deserve a far better discussion of this. The problem is that we can no longer expect this from the (Insert media outlet here). We only care about dispraising the lies about Kerry's service as if they were true (Yes the swift boat veterans for truth) but the same kind of lack of questioning on the memos vetted by experts has not been offered to the President's service in the TANG. As a wife of a Navy Veteran this is disturbing, as the charges presented show a pattern, and the fact that the memos were vetted by experts raise questions about the independence, or rather lack of, of the Mainstream Media, that seems increasingly committed to cover only one side of the story ... and even slant the news.

I know why you will not cover this fairly either ... and it has to do with the trillions you, as in the media, collectively have before Congress, but I remind you, the Fourth Estate has a critical role in US Democracy, and you are surrendering it for the sake of profit. As Cicero said, the strongest of fortresses will be destroyed by money.

Sincerely,
