In the election last week, Missy Reilly Smith ran for Washington DC delegate to the United States House of Representatives (she lost to Eleanor Holmes Norton). Smith ran largely as an anti-abortion candidate.
She ran 30 second ads which aired 24 times on local broadcast network affiliates across the greater Washington, DC metropolitan area, preceded by a 15 second warning (added by the station management) due to the shocking content.
What was the ad?

Whether you call it "reality," or "actuality," it makes for "trash" television
on purpose.
Matt Philbin, managing editor of the Culture and Media Institute says:
"Reality television plays to people's worst instincts and depends on people behaving badly, manipulating others, lying and violence."

I am unbelievably furious! I have a new book coming out in January, entitled
"Surviving Shark Attacks on Land."
It has to do with betrayal and revenge. 18 year old Tyler Clementi didn't survive his recent shark attack on land. He killed himself by jumping off the George Washington Bridge in New York. He posted a goodbye on his Facebook page just eight minutes before he ended his life.

I've been sitting "shiva" for the past four weeks after I issued my apology for using a word on this radio program that I should not have used.
I've let the hounds of fury misinterpret and misrepresent my apology, as well as my decision to end my syndicated radio program at the end of the year. I've been asked why didn't I strike back? Frankly, with folks like Al Sharpton and Howard Stern and Wanda Sykes and organizations like Media Matters, the NAACP, and the Urban League (to name only a few) pelting me with insults, calling me a racist, saying "good riddance".....it was hard to get a word in edgewise.

I remember when people wrote long, heartfelt letters in longhand. Then came the typewriter, which helped us lose the beauty of the handwritten word with lovely penmanship. Then the telephone came along, where early "party lines" enabled snoopy neighbors to overhear your spoken sentiments. After that, we had the fax machine which cut out the middleman in quick delivery. Then emails quickly took control - you could write and write and get an almost instant response. No waiting in anticipation at your mailbox for weeks hoping for that personal connection you started and which you hoped would be closed with a return missive.
