The Osgood File is hitting us too

It seems as though Charles Osgood has picked up on the anti-GA CBS news
story and is broadcasting it on his "Osgood File" on the radio (he's also
part of the CBS radio network). Here's the transcript from his site...

Find all the sponsors of that program and let's start a major letter
campaign to them.

Why should we support companies that support programs that want to take away
our freedoms?

Treasonous behavious. CBS should be ashamed at themselves.

Nah...Well maybe, but send a letter to the FCC suggesting they not
renew their license due to lying in news stories in a manner contrary
to public interest and homeland security.

What they did was to try and stir up the populace rather than calm
their fears as is one of the goals of Homeland security.

BTW, Were't they the network that was sued when it came to the story
about side impacts and fires on...I believe it was SUVs, or trucks?

Last I heard if the FCC receives a formal complaint about a station
they are required to investigate and the station has to respond in a
well thought out and documented fashion. When it comes to a network
I'd think it doubly so.

Sending letters to CBS and sponsors is good. But - I doubt that pilots
are a large enough group to have much effect on CBS or sponsors.
Ratings numbers are king. CBS will always have a large audience of
mind numbed robots soaking up their garbage. Being in the TV business
myself, I have heard many groups make big statements about boycotts
and they have basically all fizzled because Americans have a short
attention span and no discipline. A boycott is fine until a person is
in a store and needs a product. Human nature in private decisions is
to satisfy ones wants instead of sticking to principles. Sponsors know
this.

I believe one thing we can do is talk to other pilots and people in
aviaton about the danger of talking to the media. Again, we are
fighting human nature and the dream of being a TV star, but they are
one group we may be able to get to. Pilots are an independent bunch,
and there are a lot of rogue, lone ranger pilots that are not a part
of any organized groups. We need to track them down and tactfully
explain what damage has and can be done by loose lips.

My two cents worth.

Yeah, like who did I vote for?

Completely wrong. It's nonpilots talking to the media who give out
misinformation, and it's up to you to counter it. Reporters are always looking
for credible sources to give them valid facts. If you decline, you leave the
field to the liars. You're doing the subject a disservice if you deliberately
skip the opportunity to correct the record.

I like that idea. Let's get AOPA to write the letter...

I didn't see the CBS piece, but below is what was posted on this group
regarding John, who is the MANAGER of an airpark. Those in aviaton
need to be educated about what the media does.
~~~~~
CBS set this up a couple weeks back, saying they were doing a story on
air
parks. It wasn't until they arrived that they said they were doing a
story
on poor security in General Aviation.
Everything John said defending General Aviation was edited out. There
were
no pictures of the large gate out front with the usual "Pilots and
Passengers Only Beyond This Point" sign.
CBS told their story with voice overs, and the interview with the
(ex-NTSB?)
employee.
This "story" isn't representative of Eagles Nest, air parks, or
General
Aviation.
It is, unfortunately, characteristic of what we get fed as "news"
nowadays
by the media. It is sickening, but as long as it brings in big
profits for
the media outlets, this is probably what we will continue to get.
