I was put on hold, then the person came back on the line to report that the mailbox would be emptied in the next 15 minutes -- and she said that "they were shocked" at NBC that it had filled so fast.

Call it every morning for the next five days.  If the mailbox is full, call the corporate number and ask for Jeff Immelt (203-373-2211)  Executives have very short memories, and five days is generally enough to make a message stick.

Moving along...

This morning, some folks here were saying that calling NBC to complain was a waste of time, that nothing would be done.  I think they said it outright, "Don't waste your time."

Shuster must have thought that, too.  His apology this morning was something like, "I am sorry for those of you who took it as a pejorative."  Where I come from, that means, "I'm sorry you're too stupid to not understand what I am saying."  

Now that Shuster has been suspended, some of the same TL posters from this morning are saying, "this is what you fight for?  This is what you waste your time on?"

I just want to say--and I mean this from the bottom of my heart--that I truly do appreciate all of you who are so worried about us wasting our time.  

I suggest you recall what you write and what I responded to when you respond to me.

See if you can make some sense of it.

I was curious about when this invitation went out, since that would be a factor for anyone, and checked politico.com and WJLA's site. Neither seems to be listing this. WJLA says that "Wheel of Fortune" will be on at 7 Monday.

WJLA does have an "exclusive" survey on their site that has Obama leading in Maryland, Virginia and DC by substantial margins. In Maryland they have women going for Obama over Hillary.

I used to think an Al Gore presidency would mean no Iraq invasion....not anymore.  The Democrats are a party of war and occupation just as much as the Republicans...only the Republicans are honest about it.  They report to the same military industrial complex Eisenhower warned us about.  If Al Gore was president we'd be in Iraq today just the same, imo.  He probably would have run it better, but we'd still be there.  Afghanistan too, he woulda dragged that along to keep the right people paid.

Not to mention Bill Clinton was fond of bombing Iraq too, if you recall.  Got to use missiles to buy more....see a pattern?

The msm sucks...that's not news.  It's been total crap for my whole adult life, because it's about profit.  They're making money selling fluff and faux controversy so they have no reason to change until people stop tuning in.  If MSNBC or Fox aired in depth reporting and analysis of foreign and domestic policy instead of entertainers at 8pm every night no one would watch.  We rather see some knucklehead call Bush a d*ck and Hillary a b*tch, in so many words.

You think Gore and the Clintons don't get a fair shake from the msm?  Please...look at Ralph Nader, Ron Paul, or Dennis Kucinich.  You can tell what candidates might actually change something by the abscense of their face from the tv and papers.

btw...what I don't get most of all is intelligent, peace and freedom loving people believing in their heart of hearts that things will be different under Clinton or Obama...that's what I really don't get.  

If enough people stop watching, they'll change their programming.

You've already seen how they'll bend against Hillary.

Certainly PARTS of NBC leaned anti-Bush - KO particularly.

You malignly accept sexism.

If this guy said a woman is inherently unqualified to be president, or women shouldn't be allowed to vote, I'd certainly expect outrage and taking offense and the guy getting canned...but this?  

Liz Cheney was interviewed all over the place.  She talked to the press.  She courted the gay press in order to somehow validate her father.  She was an integral part of her father's campaign to bring evil to the world.  When she was called a lesbian, this was a statement of fact.  She is a lesbian.  The pejorative was not used.

Chelsea Clinton has never talked to the press-ever.  She has not courted them, the campaign has not paid for them to follow her.  (This is why Bill vanished from the nightly news, by the way.  When they had to start paying their own way, he was suddenly not that interesting).  She hasn't done interviews.

Now, to take your Liz is a lesbian/Chelsea is a hooker comparison out to the next logical step, you would have to say that you believe that Chelsea Clinton is, in fact, a wh*re.  

Is that what you are really trying to say here?
