letter to 60 minutes

Here my email to 60 minutes. Do you think I should have asked for money if they switch over to the Super Journalists idea? look how good I can write when I try hard!!! I could have gone to a private school if I had money.

Dear 60 Minutes:

You have the best show on television. It is so informative. Steve Kroft is terrific, and Mickey Rooney is great. The other people seem like they know what they are doing also. What do you pay them?

I don't like the title of your show, though. "60 Minutes"? That is dumb. All hour long shows take 60 minutes. You are so much better, you should have a better name. I suggest "The Super Journalists." If you don't like that title, I have more, I can send them to you by fax if you ask. What is your fax number, please?

Face facts, the title "60 Minutes" has got to go. Your show isn't even 60 Minutes long. With commercials, it is about 44 minutes. So your title is a lie! Don't you think it is ironical that you spend all your time catching other people in lies (like those Vietnamese villagers that one time who lied about the American soldiers) while you are lying the whole time? What would you say if somebody you were questioning said to you, "Who are you to talk, you lie about how long your show is?" You wouldn't face that sort of retort if your show were called "The Super Journalists."

Anyway, chin up, I will still watch your show. When will Harry Reasoner be returning?

Best,

G. Swanson
