Local TV failure; calling on other "institutions"

Dear Alabama academic, business, legal and medical communities:

I believe Alabama TV stations have failed Alabama voters. See, most recently, AL TV viewers need help reaching their conclusions.

In the foregoing link, I ask the questions: "Is there anyone in Alabama to whom Alabamians may turn for relatively unbiased, intelligent political commentary/opinion, and who has a significant audience of Alabama voters across the political spectrum?"

Maybe an Alabama TV station will provide me an answer to that question; maybe not.

I have previously asked the Alabama academic, business, legal and medical communities to speak up. See, e.g., 

Email to UA, UAB, Auburn, Samford & Montevallo presidents; 

Emails to AL chambers of commerce re 2022 elections; 

Alabama State Bar civic obligations re 2022 elections; and

Healthcare issue in 2022 elections

Can you please speak up more?

Thank you.

Lt. Gov. Ainsworth says:

"The ADPH must stop its Chicken Little, sky-is-falling campaign to “normalize masking.” The pandemic is over, and these kind of Fauci false alarms can hurt Alabama’s economy and slow our tourism. It’s time to get back to business as usual and put this kind of nonsense behind us."

I think Lt. Gov. Ainsworth was morally depraved in his opposition to vaccine mandates, and that impairs his leadership now regarding masks.
I am saying this as publicly as I can. https://al6thcongdist-ihaveuntiljan13.blogspot.com/2022/04/taking-up-cudgels-for-al-doctors-nurses.html.
I am a peon citizen, and I am pretty sure Lt. Gov. Ainsworth doesn't care about anything I say.
If you agree with what I say, I hope you will say so in a way that maybe Lt. Gov. Ainsworth will care.
Thank you.

I don't know whether we who are peon citizens should be inspired or demoralized when we observe citizens who are not peons railing against politicians who have the power.https://t.co/28fJRBtupMhttps://t.co/VyD4IKNPHchttps://t.co/pJ2fRoGU8D

Dear Gov. Noem and Mr. Walker (c/o ALGOP),
At the ALGOP Summer Dinner on August 12th at which you are speakers, please address this question:

Are we screwed on the climate?

I hope Alabama TV stations will editorialize about the foregoing very important question and report to their viewers whatever you might say about the same.
I have copied Professor Daniel Sutter of Troy University on this email due to the publication yesterday of his opinion piece In Defense of Fossil Fuels.
I have copied UAH Professor John Christy on this email because of his standing as a climate scientist (and with whom I have previously communicated). Prof.Christy and Danish economist Bjorn Lomborg have argued against climate alarmism (see https://cei.org/blog/bjorn-lomborg-and-john-christy-shred-climate-alarmism/). Recently Bjorn Lomborg had the following appearance on the Wall Street Journal Editorial Report: https://video.foxnews.com/v/6309914996112?playlist_id=930909810001#sp=show-clips.
Thank you very much.
