Dear Sir,
I know the news you peddle is dictated by the corporation that pays your salary, but what I want to understand is how you quantify the success of your career when it is all done for you. I know you have a budget, I know you have a bevy of corporate entireties that pull your strings, and I also know you get no say in how programming is carried out at WBTW. Now I ask you, ( and please tell me you are old enough to remember the as assassination of President Kennedy other wise this response is moot), where is the satisfaction you should feel from informing your followers the truth in reporting, and no I do not mean to imply you slant the news, just regurgitate what you are fed by corporate.
Gone are the days of serious Pulitzer Prize winning investigative reporting, filled with nit- wit, uneducated, uninformed, perfectly coifed plastics replicas of humans reading teleprompter without a clue of what they have just said. When was the last time you sent out a team to report suspicious activity, i.e., nefarious individuals involved in prostitution, drugs, gangs, police abuse political abuse, gophers and the pornographic drunken world they bring to our area, and I don't mean a thirty second loop engineered by some eighteen year old neophyte interested in becoming the next Max Lauer...I have a suggestion, why don't you inform the public just how little the corporation allows you to pay your college educated employees? Seriously, seven dollars an hour? Yes I know because I have people inside your company that either work or have work there and it is those people who ask me to write for fear of there of there jobs; me? All I have to worry about is, well nothing...
I know you are interrupting me as some kind of leftist guerrilla with a ninety nine percent ideology and well, you'd only be one percent correct. I am an American, reared and educated on the belief a little piece of paper called the Constitution, allowed me certain inalienable rights, and as a fifty nine year old man, I have been sadly forced to watch the destruction of these freedoms all under the auspices of protecting this great country.
If you are an educated man, and it hope you are, them you studied politics, economics, sociology, etc, and ask yourself, " is this what you signed up to do"? As I said if you are under the age of forty then I am speaking to a wall. This last generation is clueless and there day consists of the " Kardashians and " Honey Boo Boo". All they care about is the next iPhone, and granite counter tops. The last two generations have been unfortunately unaware of just how bad things were in this country, not my parents, and not yours or grandparents, and what I am trying to accomplish in this brief life is what our obligation asks of us and that is to make it a better world for our children, but sadly my grandchildren will be left to address the problems my generation caused... Unbelievable avarice, and corruption. No longer do we live in a democracy but an oligarchy, and I ask my wife, " I do feel bad for her listening to my diatribes!", what will it take to turn things around. To put the corporations out of business and place the power back in the peoples hands. Ell, again of you are an educated man then you also took history and since I am a Phi Alpha Theta member them I know my history and it is wrought with anarchy, revolt and wars, most because people were starving, poor, and disease, while the elites sat, laughed and said, " let them eat cake".
