This message is NOT sensationalistic! This entry is simply about the truth versus the "news!"
Thoughts to consider:
1. What result would we hope to receive if the "news" in reporting the facts in America was centered around Americans for one week and dedicated to the purpose of revealing a theme of "truth or consequences?"
2. If the news is supposed to be unbiased in order not to taint the opinions of the viewer, then when will we report the truth that the content we chose is in fact revealed bias!
3. In the enormity of responsible "reporting", why is the chasm of doubt so deep and wide between the truth and the deception? We as Americans, armed with the truth, not in the selective choices of a network bureaucracy, will rise-up to claim our roots: "We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish
justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote
the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our
posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States
of America."
4. ABC-American Broadcast Company, stay true to your role as a leader in journalism ; a gift worthy of securing "the blessings of liberty" which our Forefathers all knew came foremost from God! Please, research your true identity and purpose, especially at a time when perhaps the American media is by far more powerful than the President!! You have clearly been blessed because people are all searching for the TRUTH-and you have the prime spot for sharing it!!!
5. Who am I other than an average American with a dream to be relevant, intentional, and passionate about truth as I have been delivered and redeemed through the "blessings of liberty" in my own life! I am grateful to be on your website, able to voice an opinion, and yet in some small way have a voice as a result of you wanting to hear from me!
6. I praise the distinctive effort your organization has made in revealing the truth of what you report ; I truly look forward to Charlie, George, Jake, Brian, Dr. T. Johnson, Betsy, David, Dan and others.
7. Last, the number of perfection: Consequences are many times subversive by nature and do not fully give notice until it is generally too late looking back. Apparently, over time a consistent theme continues to be repeated: "we had reports, we had knowledge, we were aware, we got there as it was happening, we did not _________!" Maybe a similar theme could be to develop strategies to use the extremely valuable information and countless hours of investigation expertise by your teams as a deterrent to the weaknesses we have in America long before they become "news"! Perhaps, at that point, the outcome could be a victory for your organization that would not only put you at the top, not #2, of the ratings, but a quantum leap ahead as Americans find your involvement in all aspects of the truth overwhelmingly attractive; and for ALL the RIGHT reasons. Your competitors probably won't understand the consequences until it is too late!!!
