Excuse me, Joe. Your EGO aside, but I believe there is a better qualified
(and respected!) journalist to address the national policy issues
surrounding this network and its future. He works for the New York Times.
His name is John Markoff.
I'd encourage those who wish to see these important issues addressed
in a thoughtful and completely fair way address them to markoff@nyt.com
