  What about Phil Donahue?

  I very much appreciate Keith's point of view and his courage in today's media circus to speak his truth and challenge the Main Stream Media, of which he is a part, to finally come clean with their coverage of the Bush Hypocrisy. I find it very interesting and ironic that he works for the same network that fired Phil Donahue, whose ratings were the highest on MSNBC, for his providing a voice for the Peace Movement and Anit-War Movement, which are not the same, by the way. He was so restricted in whom he could interview, and how many voices it took to "balance" the guests he hosted, that it became a joke of monumental proportions. It takes 3 "conservatives" to balance Michael Moore? Well, it probably would take more than that, and they'd be screaming over him the whole time. That is news coverage and commentary? I listened to CBS radio news for a while today, and was dismayed that they are still not giving the horror of the health issues suffered by the first responders and clean-up personnel of the WTC site the amount of time and commentary is deserves. The same is true of the returning Iraq veterans. There is a mental and physical health crisis brewing, and it will overwhelm us because no one in positions of authority is giving it its due. Bless you, Keith. I think you can amp it up, now, because the American people are starting to wake up, and are willing to listen to what is really going on here and abroad.
