Sir,

		TELL THE TRUTH! CLEAR YOUR CONSCIENCE!
		    1/2 the Story is 1 Whole Lie

For many years you have provided your trusting listeners with honest and 
complete reporting. It is painfully obvious that you have succumbed to 
the powers,suppressed your journalistic ethics and have assumed the role 
of White House Public Relations Spokesman. History will reflect the role 
you are playing in the deception of the American people

Cable news is a lost cause all together. They have never practiced true 
journalism, therefore we have grown to expect less from them. They have 
become the professional wrestling of the journalism world. You, however, 
were there before CNN’s high ratings forced the rest of the TV News industry 
to abandon journalism in lieu of propaganda propagation. TV News is now 
nothing more than an infomercial for the Bush administration and for the 
corporate sponsors. If they approve, you report. That is the only standard 
by which the news is now reported.

It is your fault that 50% of the American public believes that Iraq was 
responsible for the attacks on 9/11. You have permitted and encourage the 
President to lie to our troops about the reasons that they have been asked 
to kill other human beings. Is this how you “Support the Troops”? Is this 
patriotism? It is the job of the journalist to ask questions when the 
President spews his daily lies.

Think about the impact the press had in uncovering corruption in the past. 
Think of how the Watergate scandal came to light. Think of the respect the 
American Journalist gained around the world during that time. Think of Daniel 
Ellsberg, a great American hero who risked all to uncover the truth and 
expose a corrupt administration. That is patriotism. Protecting a President 
as he lies to the troops and to the world is not patriotism. It is treason. 
It is disgraceful. It is a sin.

Last year Reporters Without Borders ranked the American Press 17th in the 
world for freedom of the press. Imagine what this years ranking will be. 
Picture your name and face placed along side that ranking, etched in history. 
This is the legacy you are creating for yourself.

Stand up. Regain control of your soul, and speak the truth. Admit to what has 
been going on and blow the whistle. It is your patriotic responsibility. 
Continuing this deception is an injustice to all of humanity. 


Sincerely

An American
