TIME-SENSITIVE ACTION ALERT
CNN poised to give animal rights radicals a platform


Dear Stormy

It is time to educate CNN about the radical animal rights agenda and  
their dangerous promotion of it!

CNN is set to air a full hour special tonight called Jane's Fight for  
Animal Rights.  It features representatives from the hardcore animal  
rights fundraising groups, PETA, the Humane Society of the United  
States (HSUS), Sea Shepherd, In Defense of Animals, Farm Sanctuary,  
and Mercy for Animals -- not one of which represents mainstream  
values. It also includes cameo appearances from celebrity spokespeople  
for animal rights, Bob Barker, Pierce Brosnan, and others used to  
legitimize extremist views.

Media depends on ratings to stay on the air, so it's understandable  
that TV networks sometimes select groups whose media-grabbing antics  
and out-of-the-mainstream views makes them newsworthy, at least as  
representing a min ority point of view. What makes CNN's show so  
reprehensible is their lack of balance, their lack of providing people  
representing the majority view the opportunity to refute extremist  
claims with fact-based evidence.

The result is that CNN's show is providing radicals a platform to be  
seen as America's go-to resource when it comes to animal issues.   
Thus, PETA, a group that has refused to condemn violence committed in  
the names of animals, HSUS, a group with a spokesperson who said his  
goal is the abolition of agriculture, and Sea Shepherd whose leader,  
Paul Watson was recently placed on Interpol's International Wanted  
List all get free publicity and the CNN bully pulpit.

It's vitally important that you tell CNN how you feel about their  
program and about the groups they've selected to represent animal  
issues. CNN needs to understand that pandering to sensationalism not  
only hurts the people who actually care for animals, it hurts the  
animals thems elves. Let's use this opportunity to educate CNN about  
the animal rights agenda and how it differs from true animal welfare.
