Okay, maybe I am screaming mad
KMBC 9 showed a partial clip of "the scream" when they did their story on Dean winning the DNC chair. I wrote to complain. Their website and my letter follow:

I switched from KCTV5 because I felt your coverage was a little less Republican biased than theirs.
I noticed that in your story about Dean you somehow felt it was necessary to include footage of "the scream". In the future I expect you to show pictures of George W. Bush falling off the Segue when you do stories about him, or maybe you could show the "British intelligence has learned ..." clip from the SOTU. Why bother with substance at all when you can just mock and jeer?
I will be watching the news on Channel 41 for the next week, and I will not come back even for the Seinfeld re-runs (I think I have seen them all anyway).

2. I sent them an email
"Why do you introduce stories about Dean with "the scream" as if it is news, but you do not introduce stories about Bush with a clip of him reading "My Pet Goat"?

I find the blatant bias disturbing. If I wanted to be blasted with propaganda, I'd sign up for republican newsletters. Please make an effort to be more even-handed in your reporting."

You have a link for an appropriate local newspaper? Some LTTEs might be in order.

4. Yeah, I posted something similar last week
Jon Gibson (Faux News whore) mentioned "the scream" five times while I was watching. Each time he mentioned Dean's name, he mentioned the scream.

Why not "recovering alcoholic George W Bush" or "drunk driver George W Bush". Maybe "George W Bush, known for going AWOL during Vietnam"? Perhaps, "George W Bush, who was investigated for insider trading"?

Its pathetic.
