That slideshow is truly mindboggling (a phrase I've used a lot today, grin), with the "R" after almost all the Republicans' names and only Gerry Studds labeled with a "D."<BR/><BR/>Best wishes,<BR/>LauraLaurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09626109831176745957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14548733.post-66512067817056327052008-03-10T21:57:00.000-07:002008-03-10T21:57:00.000-07:00I emailed ABC news because I saw the ABC slideshow of politicians who were caught in their indiscretions and the Republicans had the big R next to their names but the Dems' big Ds were missing from theirs. No bias there! (via The Corner).<BR/><BR/>This is what I received from ABC:<BR/><BR/>"Thanks for sending us the feedback. We read every piece of information <BR/>we get from our users, and will forward your contribution to the right <BR/>people here at ABC News. Please stay in touch.<BR/><BR/>Sincerely,<BR/>The ABCNEWS.com team"<BR/><BR/>Heh. I'm sure they're busily adding the D's to the Dems on the hitlist...just to be fair.<BR/><BR/>http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/Blotter/popup?id=2841254&contentIndex=1&page=1Danahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07024437222713539528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14548733.post-91444891359953269882008-03-10T21:25:00.000-07:002008-03-10T21:25:00.000-07:00I wish I knew, Holley! Can't hurt - might help? "Big media" seems to be a little dense, though -- you'd think they'd have caught on by now that in the age of the Internet, with everything at our fingertips, it's very easy to find this kind of bias, compare it with past practices, and expose it. They're either dense or they don't care... But they *might* care eventually if enough of the public raises a ruckus and they start losing more money than they already are.<BR/><BR/>Best wishes,<BR/>LauraLaurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09626109831176745957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14548733.post-36619183808344977502008-03-10T19:58:00.000-07:002008-03-10T19:58:00.000-07:00Do you think if enough of us write all these media outlets and tell them we notice their ommisions, they'll start being more careful not to appear biased? I'm willing to do it but I don't know if it would make any difference.<BR/>Holleywindycornerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06034056242158207107noreply@blogger.com
