TV Anchors To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], See post that follows: GOP Urges Protest Vs. TV Anchors By David Bauder AP Television Writer Tuesday, March 7, 2000; 1:13 a.m. EST NEW YORK �� The Republican National Committee has given out the telephone numbers of Tom Brokaw, Peter Jennings and Dan Rather, urging Republicans to call the network anchors to protest coverage of a Democratic fund-raising trial. Committee Chairman Jim Nicholson was miffed that the evening news programs didn't devote more time to last Thursday's conviction of Vice President Gore's former fund-raiser for arranging illegal contributions to Democrats during the 1996 campaign. Maria Hsia was convicted of five felony counts for arranging more than $100,000 in illegal contributions. "I think it's neglect," Nicholson said Monday. "If she had been a Republican operative who had brought money to a Republican candidate, there would have been an absolute uproar in the media and there should have been in this case." Network representatives say such organized protests are common. What made Nicholson's directive unusual was that it included the office phone numbers of the anchors and their bosses and, in some cases, their e-mail addresses. His call to arms was sent out via e-mail to about 10,000 GOP activists and radio talk show hosts across the country. By late Monday afternoon, CBS reported "a handful" of phone calls and ABC said it had received a few dozen. NBC received less than 15 calls, spokeswoman Barbara Levin said. "It's politics," said ABC spokeswoman Eileen Murphy. Nicholson said that the "CBS Evening News" devoted 23 seconds to the story Thursday evening, while ABC's "World News Tonight" logged 19 seconds. NBC's "Nightly News" did not mention the story, he said. ABC has reported extensively on the fundraising scandal since it was first uncovered, Murphy said. To measure its commitment by the number of seconds broadcast on Thursday is silly, she said. "We don't feel like we have anything to apologize for," she said. The phone calls may have taken Brokaw by surprise; he was on vacation last Thursday and Brian Williams filled in on NBC's nightly news. "As any independent news organization has found, organized campaigns like this do occur periodically and we understand that," Levin said. "We make editorial decisions in our newsroom every day and we stand by them." � Copyright 2000 The Associated Press http://www.FreeRepublic.com/forum/a38c4c3d969a9.htm To: anymouse I wrote (very briefly) to: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jennings, Brokaw, and jck were returned. I then re-sent the bounced messages as eg: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] to each of the returned addies. In every one case of the three different domains, at least one message did not bounce. I had practiced this by fighting spammers; it does work.
