An email to CNN, demanding Novak's removal
Edited on Mon May-16-05 10:51 PM by OKthatsIT
Dear CNN,

I demand the removal of Robert Novak from his position as Conservative Columnist on your Network. It is deplorable to witness mainstream media, especially CNN, permitting him to continue, where he should have been prosecuted for revealing Valerie Plame's undercover status, as well as many other operatives associated with her. He WILL be held accountable for this treasonous act.

As for what he said last Saturday, describing the Democrat US Senators as equal to those murderous and evil Germans who decided the fate of Jews in DEATH CAMPS. How could you stand for this abomination of TRUTH? How could you stoop to the lowest of lows...how could any person who believed in his/her country sit idly by and allow you to use the public forum for such hideous propaganda?

Are you a news organization or a propaganda machine? The sanctioning of such a 'model' is treasonous! Get back to being a REAL news organization and report ALL the news, not just what suits the Right-Wing agenda.

Gravely disappointed,
signed.....


I sent it here: http://www.cnn.com/feedback/forms/form1.html?39

2. While they're at it they could
get rid of that fascist sychophant wolf blitzer, too.

Good letter! The answer is "propoganda machine"!

6. Good for you. Now take the next step. Stop subsidizing them.
If you are still paying for CNN content, the time to stop is now.

8. I'm not talking about watching them. I'm talking about paying them.

I decided to cancel CNN after the coverage of the DNC last summer... I had a contract up through the end of March and at that point I called up my satellite provider and cancelled my basic package and told them I would sign back up when they offered one that did not include CNN. I haven't regretted it, that is for sure. If you've already taken this step, more power to you.

14. Yeah, I know. It's a choice, help fund TimeWarner's propaganda, or
do without your favorite TV show. No one said that life's choices would be easy or guilt-free. But you might just find that you don't miss that show as much as you are anticipating.

9. They really are trying to eradicate the Dems
aren't they. They'd be happy if the Dems just disappeared. How grotesque. How can a majority of the country not see how grotesque they are?

12. if we say it's time to get rid of the traitor....and we mean it
first they ignore you
then they laugh at you
then they fight you
then you win

Let's go get them. Its time to make them accountable. What are our legal avenues? Their continuation of using ALL....ALL OUR MEDIA for their propaganda purposes is against the law.

Now what can we do about it?

13. Here is what I just emailed to CNN
I find it astounding that a commentator on your station would compare the republican branded "nuclear option", on judicial filibusters, to the Nazi concentration camps that killed MILLIONS of Jews.

You should be ashamed to have Novak on your network. I won't be watching CNN until Robert Novak is gone. Your network is not worth watching if you have people of his character on the air. His style of debate offers no public insight, and is and insult to your viewers' intelligence.

I'll watch CNN when Novak is gone. Until then. You won't be missed.
