Going Old School On You, Bringing Out A T13

this post has been edited to include info since originally writing, please see bottom:
Never in my life have I been more insulted than I am to have read that tripe you printed today in the Washington Post:
One month ago, on the day of the show's improbable second-season return, CBS Entertainment chief Nina Tassler sent a message to its fans (who, I'm sorry to report, call themselves "Jericho Rangers"), telling them that "at long last, the night we've all been waiting for has arrived" and urging them to strong-arm everyone they know to "turn out in full force" and watch the show.

Thanks, Lisa. Here we have yet another reporter who doesn't ask anybody involved in our efforts about anything. She sits in her office and decides to be rude, unprofessional, and condesending. She is not worthy of our time.
Thanks for posting this. I fully support you.
i actually cried when i read that article...i felt insulted..
Well, I for one am glad you caught that article and wrote that B*%^h a letter! I'm just as outraged as you are by her irresponsible opinionating on something she obviously knows peanuts about!!! I am PROUD to call myself a Jericho Ranger not only because we saved a television show, but because we came together as a group and did so many other positive things to help others (as you pointed out to the winch!) ARRRGH, she has fried my bacon too!
thanks Jericho Returns, Cali and Aunt vonna
You know the more I consider her words, the madder I get.... but I so love that I had the ability to do something in defense of some of the best people I have ever met!
:-) I love my fellow Rangers for all the awesome work they have done, and will not stop until that women retracts her comments.
Way to go Ky. This reporter is not the first who has tried to frame our accomplishments as failure and nor will she be the last. Maybe we should send her a list of required reading when preparing to write about Jericho Rangers.
kystorms,
Thank you for that. Thank you for standing up for us all. Well done.
Um i noticed your letter mentions effected the change in the way Television viewers are accounted.. well they why is it that the nielsen ratings are the reason why jericho is cancelled if there was a change in the way television viewers are counted.
I hadn't heard of Jericho until a Twitter friend pointed it out. I downloaded the Pilot and was hooked. What a terrific show. I think some acting and writing could be better, but it's not a feature film, it's Television!
Well as I watched it I began to see some deep content and it inspired me to write about the tremendous amount we can learn from Jericho in terms of the United States Constitution. My blog was even picked up by a New York paper. I wish this reporter had read it, maybe the strong point that Jericho makes would have been more clear. You can read it at: http://danmosqueda.blogspot.com/2008/03/cbss-jericho-constitutional-dilemma.html
I wish the show would continue. I'm amazed at the trash on the air. Maybe it's not a help to the Hollywood agenda? Who knows.
Well said KYstorms. I had not commented on her post because I did not want to boost her search engine ranking - thank you for posting this.
hi Maybei
thanks for commenting, and i do understand your reasonings, and your right but this is just too hienous to ignore, kind of the damned if you do , damned if you dont thing... but i so appreciate your commenting here
:-)
Excellent letter, well written and far more civil than the reporter.
SIRanger2
What an unbelievable bytch!
She couldn't even be bothered to research the origin of the reply to the Germans = "Nuts"...

I'm sorry for my angry comment, but this lady is slime in my book.
I think I will also be writing about this story.. it is sad that Jericho finally bids farewell :(
Hiya. First off, I'm with you 100%...both in terms of your response to her article and in hoping Jericho rises again. Having said that.....Ya gotta proofread/spellcheck. A campaign like this is intended to reach a wide audience, and convince people to join the cause. When your article begins with a basic mistake ("Your "sad" to say...."), people will be much less inclined to take you seriously, or to think that Jericho attracts the smart, interesting people that it does. "Your" is not interchangable with "You are/You're". Basic punctuation rules also need to be followed if, again, you want to be taken seriously (such as including a space after each period). I'm no expert - don't get me wrong - but even with my limited knowledge of punctuation/grammer these things fairly lept off the page when I read the piece. Again - please understand that I say this with all respect and affection. I am not trying to be a bastard, or rude, or anything other than helpful. I want the show back, and I am really grateful to the people (meaning you and everyone here) that made the all-too-brief second season possible. Gratz to all. *tips hat*
redacted
Many thanks for pointing that out to me, will review the post. MY only excuse is the complete anger I was feeling, first rule never write mad :-)
But you are correct, to be taken seriously one has to be as well spoken as possible.
Thank you
