Carl asked me to repost this invitation to tonights North Pinellas Democratic Club meeting at the Countryside Library:

Dear Fellow Democrats,

This week’s meeting (tonight) is scheduled to feature Beau Zimmer, a reporter from WTSP, Channel 10 News. Beau is the youngest reporter on staff, but very experienced. He began his career at Channel 10 when he was 8 years old. He will be discussing how reportersare assigned stories, how stories develop, what makes it newsworthy, how much freedom he has in telling the story as well as answering your questions about the media.

There is a possibility though that Beau could be called to a story. Channel 10 is short one reporter. Since I just spoke to him Tuesday evening, he is pretty certain he’ll be there.

However, should he not be able to attend, we will view an extremely interesting and certainly eye-opening video titled OutFoxed. This documentary is about how Fox News tells their version of the news and how that differs from almost all the other media. It is funny, upsetting, and all too true.

The meeting starts at 7:00 PM at the Countryside Library

See you there.

Ladies and gentlemen, the following is an invitation from from Carl Zimmermann:

Dear Fellow Democrats,

I believe you will find the next North Pinellas Democratic Club meeting this Wednesday to be very interesting and different. Unlike most meetings, we will be watching a documentary titled American Blackout. I first saw this movie at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2006. It’s about the 2000 Presidential election and what took place in Florida to assure that George W. Bush’s victory. I believe you will be shocked at what is revealed.

There are many “documentaries" made these days that can often be careless with facts and amount to not much more than propaganda pieces. I think you will agree with what you see.

It also covers the Cynthia McKinney campaign. You may remember Cynthia was a congresswoman from Atlanta who the Bush administration ordered to be "taken out" and the strategy the Republicans used to take her out of a heavily Democratic area.

Visit American Blackout’s official site.

The meeting starts at 7:00 PM at the Countryside Library this Wednesday (September 12). See you there.
