A local newspaper printed my letter to the Editor

[Bluzmann57]

In it, I got on the alleged media in this country, which is why I am surprised it got printed. They had a front page story concerning the opening of the Star Wars movie last week and it sort of upset me. Here is a link. http;//www.qctimes.com/internal.php?story_id=1-51969&+=Letters+to+the+Editor&c=28,1051969 If this is either too long or doesn't work for some reason, just try www.qctimes and go to letters to the editor. Mine is the one which says "Media continues to overlook real news". It isn't the best writing the world has ever seen, but I think maybe people got the message and there isn't one false statement in my letter. This is my second time for this paper. Woooohooo!

I think you made your point in a succinct, intelligent and rational way. It is to their credit that they published it.

10. the link works

I liked your letter because you supplied not only one but several examples.

BTW, I used to live in the Quad Cities. I was there for a short time because my company transferred me there. I rented a duplex in Bettendorf. I stayed in touch with my landlord after I moved because he was such a nice person. To this day, I stay in touch with the person who lived in the other part of the duplex.

But after about 10 years my landlord started reading r-w crap like William Bennett and sending it to me. At that time I had no clue about the r-w propaganda that was coming down the pike. All I knew is that what he was sending seemed simplistic; black and white. I told my former landlord this and finally I had to ask him to stop sending me the crap because I just didn't want to see it. Little did I know.
