In response to the Crappy report done by MSNBC Dateline and Matt Lauer

Warning I am going to rant again, and may say some things some may not like..... I apologize in advance :)

Here is information given by Dr.Wakefield abou the boched reporting done by MSNBC. It lists all the things they edited out of the report and much more! http://www.ageofautism.com/2009/08/a-statement-from-dr-andrew-wakefield-of-thoughtful-house-following-dateline-nbc.html#more

I am NOT suprised that they did NOT keep their word and give a balanced report on these issues. I'm not suprised that have YET to put up any comments left by viewers as of today on their website. Because if they were to do that, they would have to listen to the unhappy audience.

But honestly.... it just really pisses me off! I'm tired of it!!! Tired of people in this world not wanting to listen to us! We are not uneducated, desperate parents.... we are parents who want our government to listen to us, we are parents who want our family memebers to listen to us, we are parents who want our communities to listen to us.... WE ARE PARENTS WHO WANT TO BE LISTENED TOO!!!!! HOW MUCH LONGER WILL WE HAVE TO WAIT????

Start here with your content. Replace this paragraph, and everything down to AND INCLUDING the word: STOP. DO NOT REMOVE OR CHANGE THE CODE BEYOND THE WORD STOP BELOW! This week's Blog Hop theme is "BABY PICS". Post your favorite baby pic(s) of yourself, your kids or any baby pic you think the blog hoppers would love to see. Should be a wonderful blog hop.

A Dose of Controvercy (Warning)

I'm not happy about the broadcast so there may be some things in here some may find offensive...

Really, truelly should have been titled a "Dose of crap"

I'm very disappointed in the coverage on Dateline NBC they said they would be fair and balanced, hmm funny how they still made us out to be a bunch of uneducated parents who are just deseperate for answers and will follow whoever gives us something to hope in....

Really?... I am... an educated parent who thought LONG AND HARD before I even chose to do biomedical treatments for my child and ... ITS WORKING I might add... but yet jerks like Paul offit publish garbage like his book only making us out to be even bigger idiots. I was hoping for once we would hear the good parts of what our doctors are doing.  They by far did NOT cover enough of the good research, treatments and care our kids are getting. They gave more covereage to the jerk Offit then they did to the DAN coferences and parents they interviewed.

Can you tell I am irritated?? All I managed to do by watching this program was elevate my blood pressure......gggrrrrrr....... so I went to Datelines website and left a comment. It says they have to approve those comments first before they show up. So I copied what I wrote and pasted it here.

Read on my dear friends :) and if you feel you want to comment on their site please do. I wish I could say I loved the program, but in all honesty I was let down.

My response to Datelines coverage of Dr. Wakefield.

I was very disappointed in your coverage of Dr.Wakefield. I am a parent of a child with autism who is doing biomedical treatments for my child and I am currently waiting and spreading out my youngest sons vaccinations. Through out the whole broadcast I caught several times where parents who chose to space out vaccinations are referred to as anti-vaccine.

In all honesty, I am tired of being labeled as that since it is entirely untrue. Also I noticed there was ALOT more coverage of what you consider as Dr.Wakefields controversial research, than there was coverage of all the great things he is doing at Thoughtful House in Texas.

In addition, towards the end of your program when Mr.Lauer was speaking to Dr.Wakefield he said isn't he(dr.wakefield)just preying on parents who are desperate who may have not done any research into the scientific studies done. I find they comment offensive. As a parent of a child with autism, I have done my share of investigating everything out their on research done on both sides. I thought long and hard before we started our biomedical treatments for my son, and even longer when we chose not to vaccinate right away our youngest child.

I trully was hoping that because Mr.Lauer was doing the interview that it would be more balanced, but I feel not enough was shown on all the great things that they are doing for children with autism. Here's hoping that maybe one day you will be able to show all the good things that are going on as well.

Well its late, long day tomorrow!

Much love,
