Salisbury News, (sbynews.com) will be featured on ABC World News Tonight with Charles Gibson at 6:30 PM. I received a call about 1/2 hour ago from ABC asking if they could have permission to use the above photo for a piece Charles will be doing on Health Care Protests. Mind you, this is somewhat last minute but they really want to use the photo and hope to get it fit into the program.
In return they will make sure they put up "sbynews.com" as credit for the photo. Hello Site Meter!
"Joe,
World News with Charles Gibson is working on a story about health care reform protests, and we are interested in using the following photo. http://sbynews.blogspot.com/2009/07/kratovil-protest-couple-of-over-zealous.html
Please let me know what we would need to do to get permission to use this photo.
Best,
Arlette Saenz

Joe, honestly... It's pretty sick that you even want credit and traffic stemming from that picture!
ReplyDeleteyea great.. so they can insinuate that everyone going to town hall meetings are right wing wackos... which is absolutely FALSE.
ReplyDeleteNothing like giving the left wing media garbage to throw to the masses
Looks like you received an email... not a call.
ReplyDeleteanonymous 4:22, aka, JT, Look, I was on the road coming from a custody hearing for our Grandson in Georgetown, Delaware when I got the call on my cell phone. I came home, put up the Post and then just realized they had also sent me an e-mail, so I added it to the Post.
ReplyDeleteThat's right JT, National coverage. No, better yet, World Wide coverage! Good things happen to good people JT, try learning that for once in your life.
Salisbury News (nationwide baby),
ReplyDeleteJoe please record the show and post the video on this site.
ReplyDeleteHope everything went o.k. at the hearing Joe.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Joe. You took a great press shot. The guy who did this shoudl be ashamed, not grinning, but you got a great photo. Your site is influnetial and you are good at what you do.
ReplyDeleteThe green one is not going to be happy about this!
ReplyDeleteWow Salisbury being represented as hate-mongers.. I'm so proud.
ReplyDeleteJoe - Just to get this correct. You are happy to have your name tied to that picture? Kinda makes me think you AREN'T in it for the community.
ReplyDeleteThere is a reason why people are contacting you for that nasty picture. Because other people are smart enough to not have that garbage as their poster child picture!
ReplyDeleteHow embarassing.
ReplyDeleteNice to get the attention, Joe, but I'm kinda surprised you gave them the go-ahead, knowing who you're dealing with.
ReplyDeleteYou know they'll use it to further the leftists current agenda to discredit dissenters and marginalize us.
You said yourself it was wrong when you first put it up.
It made the point you wanted it to, but I'd be careful about who I gave it to from there.
I agree with 4:16. ABC news will just use this to try and paint normal "Flyover" people as right wing extremist wackos!
ReplyDeleteDon't give them any fuel!
To Cool man, too cool.
ReplyDeleteJoe, see if you can get an mpeg of the story with your pic.
ReplyDeleteThat is pretty cool.
Saw the newscast before reading the blog and paused several times to reread.
ReplyDeleteFirst they briefly gave the credit on the video from youtube but got it right when The Kratovil photo was shown.
congrats
bobp
is it on tonites show? i didnt see it?
ReplyDeleteanonymous 4:56, Thank You! Things went more than just well! It has been an exciting day for the Albero household. Off to cover more stories.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Joe! The Nat'l exposure will be great! Although, the left (ABC) will probably try to use it to support their position that citizen's protesting are right wing kooks, especially in this PC world. For goodness sakes, when I was in high school before football games, we used to hang the opposing quarterback in effigy. It is simply a symbolic political statement, and as long as people can be shamed into controlled speech, our first ammendent rights are eroded. I for one, especially after listening to Kratovil shuck and jive tonight in Mardela, think the symbology demonstrated in the photo is right on.
ReplyDeleteScrew all you people wringing your hands over this picture!! The guy is exercising his First Amendment right to free speech!!! Despite the wave of socialist/Marxist philosophy rapidly engulfing the country, we still have the right to speak out as FREE citizens!!!!
ReplyDeleteSo.I'm sitting here reading these comments while watching Countdown with Keith Olbermann...there, big as life was your photo with "courtesy Washington Post" stamped over it.
ReplyDeleteSo much for credit where credit is due.
your photo is Keith Obberman and credit by the Washington post!
ReplyDeleteWhats the difference? When Sarah Palin was shown "hanging" out in California, no one made a big deal about it. Now the liberals are fuming about this one!
ReplyDeleteThe liberals loved it with Sarah Palin....now its payback time.
Keith Oberman on MSNBC "Countdown" showed the photo tonight. At the top it said "Courtesy Washington Post" FYI, John in South Park, Colorado
ReplyDeleteLet Gibson portray this anyway he wants, but the folks are fed up with Obama, Kratovil, Pelosi, Ried and the other dems. If drastic measures are needed to get their attention, so be it. People should be free to protest any way they choose. If bush had been the one in the picture we wouldn't be hearing all this garbage about protesters being wacko etc. Get the message, people are fed up and we are not going to take it anymore.
ReplyDeleteEvery Politician in this country who votes for Obamas Health Care Plan should be mandated to be on this plan. How Screwed up is when you have your elected officials telling you what is best for you
ReplyDeletewhen it doesn't effect them.
Olbermann said this smiling idiot standing next to the effigy, etc
ReplyDeleteOlbermann has been involved in cover for the Obama Administration. I loved him when he was beating up on Dubya' but now I hate him because he embraces Obama.
I dislike all of the elected officials. They are all corrupt.
At any rate, Olbermann and crowd want people to accept whatever Obama is selling. They are truly official propaganda tools for this administration.
what kills me most about this picture is that if it were a black man being insinuated hanging, there would be hell to pay
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like they ran the photo but did not credit SbyNEWS. If that's so, then sue them ASAP.
ReplyDeleteSBY News was on the screen!
ReplyDeleteanonymous 10:36, they credited sbynews.com.
ReplyDeleteABC news credited Sbynews but Keith Olbermann didn't, he gave credit to the Washington Post.
ReplyDeleteWow-when you don't get online until late in the day you miss alot!Congrats
ReplyDeleteway to go joe. you are always looking out for the best of sby!
ReplyDeleteI love the exposure of SBY in this blog. Now lots of people will find out about our ordeal with the local power structure: Tilgman, Webster, See, Hoppes, Comegys, Bordy. I'll bet they are quaking in their boots now. You know some of the visitors will learn about the outrageous activities of these corrput individuals.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the fire palace will become national news? I would love it if these people finally had the day of embarassment they so richly deserve.
