To those discouraged by MSM -- the REPORTERS WANT OUR FEEDBACK
Advertisements [?]
I just received a reply from Mr. David Knox of the Akron Beacon Journal. He and two other reporters ran an article (Saturday?) titled "Election day criticisms may yield changes."

We don't have to write long letters explaining our position, all we need to do is encourage them to keep digging. It goes to show that responsible journalists are listening to us :)

My email to him:

Dear Mr. Knox:

I live in Oregon and feel reasonably secure that my vote was counted. It is only right that all Americans have the same assurance once they have cast their vote. Thank you for joining in the increasing number of media voices who are exposing how many things went wrong in Election 2004, particularly in Ohio.

Regards,
(Straight Shooter)

His reply to me (BTW, his colleague also replied similarly):

Your comments are greatly appreciated. It's important for reporters to demonstrate to editors that our stories have impact. Your e-mail helps us do that.
