First, before I may jump the gun, let me say that I only saw the first 10 minutes or so of the program "This Week with Sam and Cokie", where Cokie was interviewing Rosie O. After Rosie spewed her lies for over 5 minutes straight, Cokie said something like "When we come back, Sam will talk about Rudy Guliani". So it appeared to me there was NO balance or coverage of the SAS-AIM. I had to go at that time, so I turned of the TV. So if there was in fact some balance later in the program, someone please let me know and ignore the following.
However, I was livid that Cokie's questions to Rosie were nothing but a feel-good anti-gun love fest. Without going into details about the lies and half-truths Rosie alleged, the truly despicable part is that there was no counterpoint, no coverage of SAS march, no balance, no tough questions (except very feeble questions about the dismal failure of gun control in DC and Cokie pointing out what she called "some evidence" - "SOME"! - that CCW laws reduce crime). I find this lack of balance outrageous, and believe it warrants a good TFL flooding of letters and emails. Let's do it. Please point out what will truly get under their skin - that for otherwise admired and talented journalists, they ought to be ashamed for their complicity in this unabashed support of the anti-gun cause by the LACK OF ANY BALANCE in the show. Point out how their demonstrates their lack of journalistic integrity and how you will be boycotting ABC as a result until an on-air apology is forthcoming. Point out that all this is from a person who believes in passing gun safety laws (You do, don't you, support laws that lock away violent criminals who use guns? -these are the only true gun safety laws).
Thank you very much. Let's flood 'em, folks!
