Dear Brian,

I am writing this to you because yours was the nightly news show that I used to prefer. You notice the word “used”. Let me explain.

I have become, shall I say, less than enchanted very gradually over the years with the quality of news reporting networks wide. But the latest instances have really begun to grind on my nerves. And there is no sense of fair play nor accurate reporting.

Let me point to NBC reporting and your show in particular. I could tell from your body language, as well as your precisely chosen wording, not to mention the slant of your thoughts and words exactly who you were trying to get elected. That wasn't news reporting. That was your personal editorializing. You had a hard time keeping your chair under your butt whil you were extolling the virtues of Democrats and the evil of Republicans. That extended to your bias. I might also mention the Democratic lap dog named Todd that expressed his bias and slanted statistical reporting that was expressed every chance you would let him.

Every time your network would report a story it would praise the virtues of the Democratic side of things and the evils and mistakes perpetuated by the Republicans. Just how much control did the Republican president have with the democratically controlled legislative branch of the government? How many things did the Republican president force down the throats of any democratically controlled opposition?

Do you remember your comments after the first presidential debate when Presidential candidate McCain stated that President Eisenhower (then in his capacity as commander of the Army) wrote two letters. Senator McCain stated that one letter was written to indicate that the possibility of failure of the invasion was to be laid at his (Eisenhower's) feet. You, Brian, when the comments were being flung around after the debate stated "Senator McCain was wrong about the letter!" A copy of that letter is in the national archives. It was written in 1944. I think I have a copy of the JPEG file.

You, Brian, can slap yourself on the back for helping to perpetuate the Obama
myth! Some count him as a messiah – we shall see. You shall see. Unless and until he proves himself able to follow divine inspiration (following the precepts of a divinely inspired Constitution) he’ll not qualify as a good leader/president let alone the author of salvation for our country.

I hope he does his job well.

His job is not to change laws. His job is to uphold, support and if necessary enforce the laws of this free country. His job is to pledge allegiance to this country which is one nation, indivisible. And that is a divinely given mandate!

I would like to see you and Todd stand next to President Obama, place your hands upon your hearts and swear allegiance to the flag of our country, including and especially saying the words, “under God, With liberty and justice for all”!

There certainly hasn’t been very much justice involved in the media during this election. That is unless you think money buys justice!

Congratulations to NBC, and you Brian, for your successful election of your next president. I am quoting a scripture from the Old Testament that expresses my opinion of your recent reporting efforts and "successes"…

Isa. 41: 24
Behold, ye are of nothing, and your work of nought: an abomination is he that chooseth you.
