Wow, what a week! To listen day after day to the one sided and narrow minded views being shoved in your fans faces by your biased and select group of guests is so sad and disappointing. Years ago when you were still at WJZ TV I was a young intern there who admired you greatly. I have follow your career faithfully. It is not your support of Obama that has offended me. I actually admire him. I am please that he will be our president. He appears to be a good man of principal. What has sickened me is the constant denial of the racist element in the election. It is also appauling to hear the sly trashing and utter disrespect of Governor Sarah Palin. First the racist issue. I cannot tell you how many black American's that have been glorified on TV for voting for the first time ever....glorified! One women was 102 years old...not voted based on color or creed is just as pathetic as voting for color or creed. Today President Elect Obama referred to himself as a "mutt". I respected him so much for that! He is, as so many of us, "a mix of many" wonderful colors and nationalities. I feel that we are seeing reverse discrimination...discrimination is never OK in any venue, yet your at at the forefront cheering such actions on. Mr. Obama is both Black and White...he is the best of all of us so why the focus on race. Your guest,Gloria Steinam suggested that Palin was used...playing the woman minority card...Palin like Obama isn't as experienced but both are fresh and intelligent...and both extremely capable of learning and surrounding themselves with the right people. Our country has been blessed with three decades of growth and prospriety. Both democrate and republican parties were responsible of these amazing years. Now we are in a "free fall" and again you are kidding yourself if you think one party or one president is to blame...there have been many hands in the pie and many mistakes made. Mistakes can be corrected...coming together and taking the best ideas from all will bring the best future for our country. Your one sided view insults and separates our nation...you are hurting this transition not helping. You have done so much good with your show and your celebrity status...please don't change now. Sincerely, Melanie Koorey
