Dear Mr. Johnson,
No I’m not going to nag about putting Free Talk Live on the station this time. (Although I think it would be great idea).
This email is about the recent dust up over ticket blitz, breaking news, and the reaction to it. I don’t care for the afternoon’s entertainment. I think it crass and crude, but that’s why they have a tuning dial and an off switch. However, unpopular speech was exactly what the dead old white guys had in mind when they formulated the First Amendment. The recent disclosure of information and the threat of disclosure was criminal and inexcusable! It’s a direct threat to the station’s people and their families. The gooferment, by way of its union, is way over the line. (The gooferment by “negotiating” with a union of its employees is the height of absurdity. And, by that fact, the union is its creation and its agent!) SO, in a sense, the gooferment is attacking the press. So count me in for the fight. Me, my pitchfork, my blog, and my vote are at your disposal.
I’m reminded of First they came… is a poem attributed to Pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984).
Then they came for the Jersey Guys,
and I didn’t speak up because I didn’t like them.
Then they came for me,
and by that time no one was left to speak up.
Let’s put the pig pen in Trenton back in order and in balance. They need to be afraid of the people.
