I received an email from CBS

[Demi_Babe]

Dear Ms. XXXXX,

Thank you for taking the time to write. Your support is appreciated. As you can imagine, we've been inundated with negative emails. It's refreshing to hear from a viewer such as yourself. We strive for the highest level of journalistic integrity and will continue to do so, no matter what the cost. A free society demands free, unmuzzled media expression.

Regina,

CBS Evening News

5. sorry, but this is total BULLSHIT

do you think Galileo would have changed his story 500 years ago, if he'd gotten tons of negative emails from earthcentric buffoons?

WHY ON EARTH do they CARE a bit about astroturf BS contacts, when they KNOW that what they're doing is telling the fricking TRUTH?

they should email these ahole freepers back with scathing rejoinders, telling them to contact them when they get their anti-psychotic meds properly titrated

this cowardice in the face of adverse public opinion REALLY REALLY infuriates me

9. What I wrote.

"I'm writing to express my thanks to your network, and Dan Rather in particular, for holding strong in the face of relentless right-wing attacks about the White House memos. It makes me so happy to see Mr. Rather staying focused on all the vital questions about President Bush's guard service -- I'll never understand why others in the media were unable to see these laughable "forgery" claims for the obvious distraction attempt they were. Please pass along my compliments and thanks to him and to your staff. I'll also make a point of patronizing your sponsors more often."

10. What's the email address?

I want to write but can't find the address.

[Longhorn]

11. I just got that one, too,

just half an hour after I wrote them! Wow!

[Chichiri]

15. As did I

Word for word. Regina, whoever she is, must have a macro for the supporters. Nevertheless, we appreciate her feedback -- especially since she's probably also the one who has to handle all the negative email. I was glad to make her day just a little bit better. :)
