No debate coverage tonight for Orlando WMFE and Daytona PBS stations!!!

E-mail WMFE and tell them what you think of their lack of civic responsibility. I find their not airing the first Democratic Presidential national debate outrageous!

Their e-mail address is: wmfe@wmfe.pbs.org

7. If anyone wants to submit feedback to PBS corporate,

Edited on Thu Sep-04-03 01:49 PM by cherryperry

here's their only form:

http://www.pbs.org/aboutsite/emailform.html

and here's their telephone number:

1-703-739-5000.

I await their reply e-mail as well as their return call - LOL, but I wanted to give it a try; e.g. it's not "public" when certain areas are either not airing it at all or airing it at such a late time that the average democrat (one who works during the day and needs to go to bed at a reasonable hour) is prevented from viewing it as well as perhaps a boycott might be in order plus, if anyone's a contributor, a rescind your membership threat as well...

6. Just got a response from them WMFE. This is my reply.

Most of us are in bed by 11PM. I urge you to air it LIVE so we can see it as it is happening! Airing it at 11PM is no good. What kind of PBS station would not show the debate live? It is your civic responsibiity to do so. This is the first national Democratic Presidential debate and you are are AWOL. Shame on you!
