Subject: suggesting questions to be asked in #al05 debate
Dear Mr. Caron:
I think WHNT should invite viewers to submit questions that they would like to see asked in the Strong/Wardynski debate that WHNT will televise.
I live in the 6th Congressional district and have many questions I would like my Rep. Gary Palmer to answer, but I cannot get him to answer anything.
I think many of my questions for Rep. Palmer are questions that voters in the 5th Congressional district are or should be interested in getting answered by their representative in Congress. Accordingly, I consider it legitimate for me to try to pose questions for consideration for being asked in the Strong/Wardynski debate, and I will do that.
If WHNT solicits debate questions to be submitted on WHNT's Facebook page, I will submit questions there.
Also, I don't use Facebook much, and use Twitter a lot. I will use Twitter to post suggested debate questions using the hashtag #al05debate and will solicit other Twitter users to do the same.
Thank you for your attention to this email.
Sincerely,
What questions do @MCDECVotes @MCDemWomen @LimestoneALDems @chargerdems @MorganDemsAL @LimestoneDems @alcd5democrats @rocketcityyd @MadisonCoDems @HSVDemocrats @JacksonCoALDems @LimestoneALDems think should be asked in #al05debate?https://t.co/GUJ3S8760L

I suggest that diaper training would be more worthy of consideration in tonight's #al05 debate than the "critical race theory" versus "culturally responsive training" contretemps. #alpolitics https://t.co/cRnqfod7Pa

Yes, there were insults.

But more importantly, there were responses to relevant issues in 5th Congressional District race hosted by @whnt. Good work by moderators @jerryhayeswhnt, Christine Killimayer and @BrianLawson15. https://t.co/jIrmeUI4sb
To whom it may concern:

Did last night's #al05 debate mitigate the ill-informed condition of the district's voters?https://t.co/XauxKifzI0https://t.co/GUJ3S8760L@hestzach @JessGrotjahn#alpolitics
6/16/22 Email to TV stationsDo you think the #al05 debate mitigated (or will it mitigate) the ill-informed condition of the district's voters, about which Dale Jackson spoke with your owner on his most recent Alabama Politics This Week show?#alpoliticshttps://t.co/zA0QN2fl1q

Subject: TV stations, #al05 debate, and ill-informed people
Dear Alabama TV stations:
Continuing on with your soul-searching about your 2022 election journalism, please consider the 5th Congressional district debate that WHNT hosted and evaluate whether it mitigated the condition of ill-informed voters, which Dale Jackson has talked about. https://al6thcongdist-ihaveuntiljan13.blogspot.com/2022/05/al05-debate.html
A video of the debate can be found at https://whnt.com/news/politics/your-local-election-headquarters/5th-congressional-district-gop-runoff-prime-time-debate/. There is also post -debate news of "Mrs. Wardynski tells Strong ‘I’m coming after you’." https://256today.com/im-coming-after-you-sparks-fly-in-al-5-post-debate-exchange/
If you review the debate, keep in mind Dale Jackson's full comment: "If you are looking to touch the people that are ill-informed, TV ads are the way to go. If you're looking to touch people who understand what is going on, especially in politics in this state, talk radio is the way to go." https://al6thcongdist-ihaveuntiljan13.blogspot.com/2022/06/al-tv-stations-and-ill-informed-people.html.
Also, note how 256 Today says, "North Alabama is a region with all types of smart people. There are rocket scientists, health care professionals, stay-at-home parents, computer analysts, educators, farmers, contractors, engineers, artists, military personnel, and so much more. No matter the occupation, the Tennessee Valley is tied together by people who are all (S)elf-sufficient, (M)otivated, (A)dept, (R)esourceful, and (T)rustworthy. People who deserve to have their local news reflect that. People who are – as the dictionary defines it – “capable of independent action,” and as we define it, smart as hell." https://256today.com/about/
While time is running out in the runoff elections, I think your soul-searching about your 2022 election journalism should continue after June 21st.
Thank you for your attention to this email.
