Connie Chung sorta took a left turn a bit back and had a falling out with 20/20

She has since become a sorta Joan of Ark in the news world.

She has been rather particular about her causes and what she goes after regarding whats "news worthy"

So she isn't on "REGULARLY" as many others are.

If you watch 'O'Reilly Factor' on FOXNEWS at 8 pm on the East Coast of U.S.A., turn the channel to CNN. She airs the same time.

Oh well Bill(OReilly), you snooze, you lose. I kept sendin you all the press releases, documents and news articles, but only YOU know why you haven't touched this yet O'Reilly. Seems Connie has bigger 'balls' then you seem to think you have.

Thank you CONNIE!

Nice to see the WT getting hit over and over and over again in the mainstream media on this issue. I'm sure many JW's still remain mostly in the dark on this but surely some things must be trickling through that "permafrost" (lol) on their brains. And you know only one JW in about 30 needs to see something before gossip runs away on subjects like these.

Just a suggestion for what its worth but I'd let the women talk often where possible. Keep it mellow and calm and smooth. Be "PR" conscious.
