Dear FoxNews

FoxNews,
 
I have been very curious about a lack of reporting on an issue that is near and dear to my heart.  When the Virginia Tech shootings occurred, you allowed attorney Jack Thompson to speak for upwards of six minutes about the possible profile of the shooter, touting Mr. Thompson as a “School Shootings Expert”.
 
I would hope that you are aware that your “expert” is now permanently disbarred, effective at the end of October.  I do not condone you for putting this man on television, as your newscast is not the only one he swindled into believing that he had some sort of credentials.  I do, however, expect a journalism device and media giant such as yourselves to do a small report or mention in passing that you made a mistake in allowing this man to present himself and his unsupported claims on your network and furthermore, I would like a promise from your network that we will not see Mr. Thompson again as an “expert” unless he has some sort of credentials proving himself as such.
 
Thank you.
