America to Dateline: Tell the Truth Now!
By Mark Faulk

It's time to put the pressure on. I've had a number of emails from our
activists suggesting ways to voice our displeasure with GE, Dateline, and
NBC over the postponement of the Stockgate segment originally scheduled for
this Sunday, April 10, and then cancelled by the "powers that be". Judging
from producer Sharon Hoffman's statement to Dave Patch that the "revised
schedule is in the hands of her superiors", I firmly believe that this is a
corporate decision. This is politics as usual, plain and simple.

This clearly doesn't have a thing to do with the death of the Pope,
Terry Schiavo, or Prince Ranier, in my opinion, and the fact that they would
use the deaths of three individuals as an excuse for failing to do their
moral duty is reprehensible. If it WAS about the so-called "very busy news
cycle" of the past week, then why air a fluff piece instead of a hard news
story with international repercussions?

According to the synopsis of their ten-year anniversary show "A Decade
of Dateline", the reason Dateline has been so successful is because
"Dateline's format gives it the flexibility to air hour-long interviews and
in-depth examinations of individual subjects, multi-part investigations and
follow-ups that stretch over weeks or months". This is exactly what I
suggested to them last June: run the story, and then give us "multi-part
investigations and follow-ups that stretch over weeks or months". Now, I'd
be happy if they would just give us the truth!

This is a four-tiered attack on GE, Dateline, and NBC:

1) Bombard all three entities with emails voicing your opinion (and
flood NBC with phone calls at 212-664-4444, ask to be connected to
Dateline), put it in YOUR WORDS, but feel free to include links to any of
our articles. I have no problem with taking the heat from wherever it might
come. Let them know that you will boycott NBC, Dateline, AND General
Electric if they do not respond to our concerns and re-schedule the
cancelled Dateline Stockgate segment immediately!

Here are people who need to know how they've abandoned Americans everywhere:

Dateline@NBC.com
Bob.Wright@nbc.com
Kathy.Bayer@nbc.com
Jay.ireland@nbc.com
Anna.Perez@nbc.com
Sonia.Small@nbc.com
Randy.Falco@nbc.com
Jeff.Zucker@nbc.com
Jeffrey.Immelt@corporate.ge.com
Kathleen.Lorenz@corporate.ge.com
Sharon.Hoffman@nbc.com

2) Post this information EVERYWHERE, on stock message boards, chat
rooms, emailouts, and always add: PASS IT ON! There is power in the
internet, it's time to use it.

3) Boycott Dateline NOW, until they re-schedule the Stockgate
segment!

4) Flood your local NBC affiliates with phone calls and emails as soon as
Dateline begins on Sunday at 7 pm ET, ridiculing them for airing a fluff
interview with American Idol instead of a news story about the financial
terrorism of tens of millions of people.

They have dropped the ball on this one, and it's time to make them pay.
Time to get busy, and let them know who they truly represent. And that's the
Faulking Truth. PASS IT ON!
