Hey I signed up on thsi forum just to post this topic (athough I may get active on it now that I see how kewl it is). On the Oreilly Factor Tonight (27Oct2005) they had a segment on goths and they interviewed this girl that tried to link the entire community with satanists and violent criminals. At the end of every show Oreilly reads e-mails sent to him by people that comment on his previous show. This means that tommorow (28Oct2005) at the end of his show Oreilly will read comments on tonights show which include the goth story. Please send him an e-mail at:
oreilly@foxnews.com
and make the goth voice heard, also do not insult him (sound professional you are representing the goth community here) and encourage him to have someone show the other side of the story. Requirements for your comment is that it has to be short (about 4 sentences) and you must include your name (real name not internet name) and town. Please do this and pass it on to your like minded friends. I watch him on a regular basis and he always shows both sides of the story when it comes to e-mails so please do this. For example here is the e-mail I sent him:
I am not a Goth myself but have countless gothic friends and have yet to see a single Satanist. How come when fans of rap or country music commit acts of violence I rarely see the media making a big deal about the culture they were involved in but when a Goth does the same thing they do? Since the O’Reilly Factor is my favorite show I hope you get someone to represent the Goth side of the story.
