Feedback? You Bet!

I heard about this "report" yesterday from a friend on Facebook.  After seeing and hearing just the minute or less that the FoxNews link my friend had posted had up, I wrote an email, using the feedback spot on the NBC site.  Here's what I wrote:

"I cannot believe that MSNBC would allow such a piece to be broadcast.  Mr. O'Donnell has obviously never looked into any background or history of the Mormon church--else if he had, he would have realized that the only piece of truth he had in his "opinion" piece was the name of the church's founder, Joseph Smith.  The rest was complete garbage. I'm shocked and appalled that an otherwise reputable news organization would allow such hated-filled filth to be distributed at their hands.

"If MSNBC has any journalistic honor a retraction will be offered along with a public apology for the lies this man has unleashed, and some censure be issued to Mr. O'Donnell personally for his slanderous and erroneous report.

"Mitt Romney's run for the Republican nomination has not been endorsed by his church's leadership.  He is seeking his political party's endorsement.  He is just another guy running for office.  His faith is a side note. 

"Regardless of the presenter's issues with a potential presidential candidate's faith or standing in the polls, and just because it was presented as an "opinion", should NOT make outright falsehoods agreeable by any news organization worth it's salt.

"Shame on your MSNBC.  And shame on Mr. O'Donnell."

Sadly, the political arena is now free to lie to make their point.  The mainstream media has an obvious bias. The character of any particular candidate is no longer important.  And the whole process is drug-out too excruciatingly long.  Oh, and money does seem to make the world go 'round. 

The whole thing is making me sick.  November's election cannot come soon enough for me.  Attack ads and hate-speech doesn't help me see the advantage to voting for anyone.  Yet, I know I must vote--else my decision is usurped by the seemingly growing majority of liars and slanderers.

Too bad we can't just have a debate--select each party's candidate.  Hold an issues-based debate between the two, and vote already.  That, I'm sorry to say, is only ever going to be a dream.
