C'mon, DUers, FLOOD 60 Minutes with positive feedback!
Send them thank-yous, sing their praises, lay it on thick! Let them know that there's lots of us out here who really appreciate getting some glimmers of actual truth once in awhile!

http://www.cbsnews.com/sections/home/main100.shtml

Scroll all the way to the bottom and click on "feedback" -- you KNOW the bushbots will be sending them all kinds of outraged hate mail. Do your part and send them some LOVE.

And yes, I know they AREN'T all that, but it sure can't hurt to give them a little encouragement, right? So, WRITE!

1. Just did it a few minutes ago.
I really let them know that I appreciate seeing real investigative journalism, which I had thought no longer existed in the mainstream media of this country.

Hopefully we can encourage them to keep doing it, although I expect the regime to lean on them rather hard over it.

10. Here's mine.

Thank you for airing the interview with Richard Clarke. I had almost given up hope that the mainstream media would ever take Bush to task for any of his lies, or ask the question when will Bush be held accountable for his actions, or lack thereof.

Also, good job to Leslie Stahl for catching Steven Hadley in an outright lie. That gotcha moment will live on in my video library.

We need more people like Clarke to tell the truth about the nest of worms hiding behind the pretty pictures of the Bush administration.

I just hope Mr. Clarke stays out of small aircraft. We don't need another Carnahan or Wellstone.

30. We need to give positive feedback as often as possible!
However, I was not able to make the link at the bottom of their page work -- I'll try another way, but in the meantime, if someone has another link, please put it here?

Thanks for bringing it up -- I am a firm believer in telling the media when they get something right, because otherwise they may continue to act as though all the public cares about are professional wrestling and reality shows.

39. My letter to 60 Minutes...
Thank you for airing the story about Richard Clarke. I had almost given up hope that the network and/or cable news media were ever going to start doing honest reporting about what the Bush regime has been doing to this country since Bush took office, and especially their rush to invade Iraq without evidence. What's even worse is they used the deaths of 3,000 innocent Americans as an excuse to invade a country that was no threat to us. Over 550 of our soldiers have died, thousands more wounded, and tens of thousands Iraqis have bene killed and wounded. The only way this madness is ever going to end is to get Bush out of office. The fact that the Bush administration has not been censured and that Bush has not been impeached by now is a travesty of justice.

42. it's done
I've been watching 60 Minutes on Sunday nights for awhile now because they've been doing stories that aren't pro-bush and pro-war from time to time and it's so encouraging. CBS is the station I watch for my nightly news now too. I think they're the best/most balanced of the three network news programs.

43. This is my thanks to 60 minutes
I appreciate your courageous reporting regarding Richard Clarkes heroic unveiling of the Bush Administrations sinister plot to target Iraq instead of terrorism. It's encouraging to see news reporting that doesn't succumb to the blatant jingoism of this administrations complete disregard for the press and its responsibility to report the truth to the people. It took guts to stand up to this subversive attempt by the White House to propagate what the media will cover by reporting the other side of the story. Again, thank you in earnest. Maybe next week you can report the fake propaganda on the Medicare bill and how they hired actors as news reporters.

PS: Andy Rooney on gay marriage was right on the nose!

45. My reply to them...
Thank you for being courageous enough to air Mr. Clark's interview on your television show. There are few media outlets left that have the fortitude to air anything critical of the bush administration. With apologists like Condi Rice propped out in front to take the heat and spin the stories from this nefarious administration, it can be hard for the American public to know whom to trust.

We're lucky we still have 60 Minutes to bring the truth about the crimes, corruption and deceit of the bush administration to the American people.

Thank you, for being one of the last genuine outlets remaining that truly represents Freedom of the Press.

Sincerely,

"radwriter"
