If you have 10 seconds, would you consider emailing Rick Sanchez

[EFerrari]

at CNN and telling him how DISGUSTING it is that his producers booked Ken Blackwell to comment on the Wright flap? Or, to comment on anything for any reason?



They're asking for feedback right now.

[e-mail]

Thank you!

1. I don't know who he is -- so give me some info.

And I'll be sure to use the word "advertisers" in my message.

Standing by...

3. Blackwell was the SOS who stole Ohio for BushCo.

He disenfranchised thousands of voters before, during and after the election when he sabotaged the recount.

5. Former SOS in Ohio

Vowed to deliver OH for Bush in 2004. Lost big in 2006 run for Gov (Sen? don't remember which one). Noticed this yesterday, list him as associated with some innocent sounding political group. What a load of crap, giving him a forum to spout his slanted RW points re: Rev Wright. BTW, he is AA, so it looks oh so even-handed instead of using Pat Buchanan or Jonah Goldberg.

[EFerrari]

7. Exactly. The appearance of fairness. n/t

[tularetom]

2. Took a bit more than 10 seconds but I did it

Actually I told him i never watch CNN because they book asswipes like Blackwell. Which was sorta the truth. I never watch 'em. If they stopped bookin blackwell and his ilk I might start.

[EFerrari]

4. Thank you, Tom. This felon has to be kicked off he air.

I told Sanchez that I need to cancel my cable because I don't want felons in my livingroom.

lol

[DeepModem Mom]

6. I did it. nt

[EFerrari]

8. Thank you, Ma'am!

:)

[saltpoint]

9. I will throw in on this, sfexpat2000, and with enthusiasm.

Thank you.

[EFerrari]

13. Thank you, my friend!

[gateley]

10. Done --

Thanks to you and big brother for the mini education. I winged it but got the point across.

[EFerrari]

14. Much appreciated. When I have to describe Blackwell

I start frothing at the mouth which makes it really hard to type.

:)

[gateley]

15. Just got the confirmation and

"thank you" e-mail from CNN.

[bigbrother05]

19. Glad to help

Saw him yesterday and couldn't believe he was on there with no mention of the OH/SOS/2004 controversy. Said he represented some innocent sounding organization (the "We're Good People Too, Coalition" or some other RW tripe) without even trying to provide any context for his claptrap. What a duplicitous way to discredit Rev. Wright, Obama, and pretty much the African American church/community as a whole. Guess the use of a Judas goat was too tempting this weekend.

[EFerrari]

22. Can you believe his other gig is doing seminars on ETHICS

for the Chamber of Commerce? :crazy:

[lonestarnot]

11. Absolutely.

But before I do will you tell me how to spell Kiren Chetry? Is that right? I want to throw that Faux Snooze import into the mix.

[EFerrari]

12. I'm sorry, I don't know!

:(

[lonestarnot]

16. Fuck it! I have no respect for a bushitler. Who cares if I spell her

name right. They'll get it. :rofl:

[bigbrother05]

17. Here's mine

While it is commendable to try and provide rounded coverage, if you insist on booking discredited politicians such as Ken Blackwell without adequately providing a synopsis of their background (re: questions regarding his handling the 2004 election irregularities in OH while the Republican Sec'y of State), you should book some equally vocal proponent with an opposing viewpoint. Someone like Dick Gregory would be interesting. Would be entertaining to see the dynamics while they discussed the Black experience in America and liberation theology.

[EFerrari]

20. HOoooo, boy!

:applause:

[bigbrother05]

27. Actually would enjoy Dick Gregory on any MSM panel.

Would take a gallon and a half of super glue to stick their asses back on after he got through with them.

[lonestarnot]

18. Tee Hee! Done!

[EFerrari]

21. You were bad, I know.

Thanks. :evilgrin:

[lonestarnot]

23. To the bone!

:evilgrin: You are way more than welcome. :toast:

[DeepModem Mom]

24. Just want to note -- I've already received a polite automated reply from CNN, in contrast to...

MSNBC. I can no longer find e-mail addresses on MSNBC's site, and, recently, when I've somehow found the addresses and sent an e-mail, most are returned. They will be sent to the same addresses -- and some are returned, and some not. And there is, of course, no acknowledgment or reply.

In any case, I get the feeling MSNBC doesn't want to hear from us, even when a point is made in a polite way, which I do.

[EFerrari]

25. That has been my experience, too.

The addy I used to use for Keith's show bounces now. It's too bad, really. :(

[DeepModem Mom]

32. I think it is bad. And I'd just add that I also sign my name to my messages. Even newspapers now...

many of them, have started attaching writers' e-mail addresses to their articles. MSNBC is going the opposite way.

[EFerrari]

33. NYTs seems to have pulled their email addys for the columnists, too.

I can understand having too much volume but you'd think they could read a sample and post a notice to that effect.

[bigbrother05]

26. What's the deal with Martha Zoeller?

Never heard of her, but couldn't get over how she knew how hispanics and blacks would/should behave during a discussion of the campaign and Bill Richardson's impact. Then, she was parroting the Ken Blackwell part during a discussion about liberation theology. Guess Rick Sanchez gets the folks someone (2nd asst. producer?) owes a favor to.

edit for grammar/clarity

[EFerrari]

28. Apparently she's a rw radio talk show host in Atlanta. n/t

29. Won;t do any good. They hire Pat Buchanan to analyze the democratic campaign

They hire Peggy Noonan to comment on democratic campaigns

they pay Joe Scarborough to bloviate for 3 hours a day on the democratic campaigns..

they bring on Bill Bennett
they bring on Mike Barnicle (admitted plagiarist)

It's their pattern.. right wingers get to critique lefties and they also get to "critique" right wingers..

when they have a "leftie" on, it's always Bob Shrum..Donna Brazile or someone equally milquetoast-ish..

we never see any real supporters..who are forceful, articulate and clever..only the tired old "regulars" who have nothing of any consequence to say..

C-span does this too.. they will always have CATO, Heritage,AEI people on for a full hour, trashing us at will..and then IF they have a "leftie" on, it's to talk about something totally different, and they steer any callers away from anything current..

[EFerrari]

30. Sanchez asked for email this time so I thought there was a chance

some of it would get read.

[SoCalDem]

31. I'd rather someone TASER him again..

:rofl:

I never get tired of watching that one :)
