[nfb-talk] Blind people deserve a library experience reading thenewspaper! NFB News Line Fails that!

[Wm. Ritchhart]

Did I miss something?  Considering that the only thing I have seen about
NFB Newsline recently was a post from the ACB leadership list
encouraging the ACB membership to try to stop the Federal funding for
NFB Newsline.

The post made claims that any knowledgeable person would recognize as
untrue.  In the normal ACB fashion, the post demonstrated that if NFB is
creating something, the members of the ACB in general will be against
it.

One last thing.  I have a question for you Tom.  Why do you bother with
us NFB folks?  I personally wouldn't waste my time with people whom I
thought were so evil and always wrong.  It just seems that you could
find a better use of your time doing something other than making angry
post to an email list made up mostly of people who have beliefs that are
totally different from your own.

I too wonder where the blind community is when they turn their backs on 
decency and respect for an unbiased library experience while reading the

Alabama NFB News Line Service. The Federation is more interested in 
promoting its blind advocacy program; like filing frivolous law suits
mostly 
for the sake of publicity and all the while knowing that most government

agencies and big business concerns will quietly settle crappy law suits
in 
the legal settlement mill. Remember I am talking about the National 
Federation of the Blind! The NFB News Line should never be used to
promote 
NFB's advocacy positions and federation policies. Also, the Alabama
chapter 
of the National Federation of the Blind should not be permitted to use
the 
NFB News Line Service to advance the reputation of Mister J. Michael
Jones, 
the Alabama affiliates state NFB president.  NFB President Doctor Marc 
Maurer has said that the NFB News Line Service has "A Special
relationship 
with the news paper industry publishers participating on News Line." Let
me 
tell you something all you girls and guys, that frightens me!  I believe

that the NFB News Line Service should be held above any and all politics
for 
the sake of the blind community and most of all to provide blind news
paper 
readers an honest library experience.
