take a minute for 60 Minutes

On sunday, CBS's news program 60 Minutes aired an in depth, honest look at the West Bank, Israel, and the Two-State Solution, "Time running out for a two-state solution?". It showed the realities of the settler movement and the Occupation's crushing effects on Palestinian lives.

In response, CBS has been attacked for being "anti-Israel" and "anti-Jewish"...it's important that we counter this negative feedback, to let CBS know that there are people who still support even-handed, objective journalism, and appreciate the courage they have to show truthfully the reality of Palestinian life in the West Bank.

Below are two links I've recieved through which you can submit notes of support for the program. Please take a minute to do that. You can edit the standard messages to write your own.

An example message:
Thank you so much for reporting and producing a balanced, objective piece on the reality of life in the West Bank for Palestinians. This is not a story that is regularly shown in the United States, and it speaks very highly of your show and your commitment to objective journalism that you featured such a story.

Again, thank you for continuing to uphold your dedication to balanced journalism.
