ABC,
CBS, and NBC...
Why are you not reporting
THE IMPORTANT NEWS?
|
Open Letter to ABC, CBS, and NBC
If the Fox News Channel and the nations most prestigious newspapers the New
York Times, the Los Angeles Times, the Washington Post, and the Washington
Times can report story after story over the past year about
important dates, facts, people, hearings, testimonies, documents, evidence, and
events involved in the Chinese espionage case... Why cant you?
Why are you ignoring what is one of the most serious and frightening news events this
country has faced in decades?
The Media Research Center has been monitoring and documenting your absolutely horrendous
record for reporting the story to the American people in your evening and morning news
shows. On mornings when newspapers delivered major espionage revelations, your networks
dedicated more coverage to beavers chewing down trees at the Jefferson Memorial, the
latest weight loss pill, and celebration tips for New Years Eve 1999.
On March 8, 1999, referring to the New York Times article first disclosing
Chinese espionage, NBCs own Washington Bureau Chief Tim Russert told MSNBCs
John Hockenberry: "I said, This is dead serious. Why arent people
reacting to it? Front page of the New York Times on Saturday. I assumed by
Sunday the country would be aghast by it and talking about it..."
"Why?" he asks. Its because most Americans still dont even know
about the espionage. More than half of them get their news from TELEVISION
and ABC, CBS, and NBC arent reporting it like they should like they
would, were it any other Administration. Stop your bias. Report the real news!
Sincerely,
L. Brent Bozell III, Chairman
