Video from The View

[vertesc]

I wrote a letter to "the Viewmaster" and to Joy, who started the discussion:

"Dear Joy -
I saw your "Hot Topic" discussion of Ron Paul and US foreign policy the other day. It was fantastic! A MUCH better discussion than has occurred in ANY of the candidate debates so far! It's wonderful that ABC and "The View" should step in to provide real stimulating discourse about major issues when Fox shows itself incapable. Maybe you should continue in this vein of serious discussion (which the audience obviously loved as much as I did) by inviting Ron Paul onto the show?

Kudos to ABC, and kudos to the girls from the View for talking so directly about this issue! Thank you! You've made a "viewer" out of me!

PS - I noticed that the segment isn't included in your "Hot Topics" clips on your website yet. Good thing there's youtube! The clip has more than 6,000 views already, and is spreading great publicity for you guys! Keep up the good work! "

I encourage all of the rest of you to send in similar comments. I'm sure the girls got in trouble for talking about Paul on ABC's network (note the awful picture of him the producer used?)... but they actually do have some clout. If someone could see that there's a market for this, or that this is an opportunity to steal a market from under Fox's feet... well, something could happen. And it's hard for even ABC to ignore thousands of email requests for ron paul to be on the show. So write an email!

The only place I could think of that you would be talking about would be the video clips, it looks like they only had a couple of clips from the show that they talked about Ron Paul on.

Maybe if we thanked them and asked them where we could see a copy of the video from the show they would add it.

You have to remember that it's daytime tv and it's celebrity driven. If they can only put a few clips on their website, then they are going to give the clips to the celebrity co-host, the actors that were on the show, and the big celebrity stories.

Great letter, better then the one I left them.
