Subject: Fox News knowingly reported false claims of election fraud
To Alabama TV stations:
Will you report to your viewers the news story that Fox News knowingly reported to their viewers false claims of election fraud?
Will you, on one or more of your news shows, express to your viewers a public condemnation of what Fox News did and give assurances to your viewers that your news producers, anchors and reporters do not and will not knowingly report false claims or information to your viewers and do not and will not deceive your viewers the way Fox News deceived its viewers?
Thank you.

Subject: AL TV stations knowingly reporting false claims and information?
To Alabama chambers of commerce:
I wish to call to your attention that I sent an email to Alabama TV stations relative to the news story that Fox News knowingly reported to Fox News' viewers false claims of election fraud.
My email asks the Alabama TV stations whether they will report to their viewers said news story that Fox News knowingly reported to Fox News' viewers false claims of election fraud.
My email also asks the TV stations whether they will, on one or more of their news shows, express to their viewers a public condemnation of what Fox News did and give assurances to the Alabama TV stations' viewers that the stations' news producers, anchors and reporters do not and will not knowingly report false claims or information and do not and will not deceive their viewers the way Fox News deceived its viewers.
My email and the TV stations to which it was sent can be found at https://al6thcongdist-ihaveuntiljan13.blogspot.com/2023/02/opening-new-front-against-al-tv-stations.html.
I am calling this to the attention of the chambers of commerce in the event they believe they have a civic obligation to express their own condemnation of what Fox News did and try to help undo the damage Fox News did to the country in being a contributing factor to the January 6th insurrection happening.
Thank you.

Subject: Do FL TV stations fail their journalistic obligations as much as AL TV stations?
Dear Jack Royer (formerly of CBS42 in Birmingham and now with WFLA in Tampa Bay):
In my opinion Alabama TV stations badly fail their journalistic obligations to their viewers. See (i) https://al6thcongdist-ihaveuntiljan13.blogspot.com/2023/02/opening-new-front-against-al-tv-stations.htm; (ii) https://al6thcongdist-ihaveuntiljan13.blogspot.com/2022/11/local-tv-journalism-ethics-and.html, and (iii) https://al6thcongdist-ihaveuntiljan13.blogspot.com/2022/07/al-tv-viewers-need-help-reaching-their.html.
I doubt Florida TV stations do any better, but, if you think they do, it would be great to hear you say so.
Thank you.
