Hi,
I am a journalism student of Dan Kennedy at Northeastern University and I am currently writing an article about how the recent allegations against Herman Cain will affect the race and how he handled the situation will change the public’s view of him. I was hoping I could ask you just a few questions. It will really only take a view minutes and I would really appreciate it. Since the media had such a large role in this situation, I think your expertise would greatly enhance my article and I am very interested in your opinion of the matter.
Thank you so much for your time.
As we have scene from the past, presidents’, Congressmen, and the list goes on: Nobody is perfect. And whether or not he is guilty of the sexual harassment he has been charged with, He is older now and hopefully has learned from any mistakes.
Why is it now that all this has come to light? Is it because he is now in the public eye and these women want to see their names on the news? Or hope to get financial gain?
Nobody is or was perfect. If he realized going into the public eye by running for President that there could be miss conduct found, would he have thrown his hat in the race?
So what if he was a frisky fox at one time, others have done the same, even elected officials. I want to know if he has a plan that is reasonable and that he can make work if he should become President. All this other stuff just isn’t nearly as important.
The Federal Reserve Bank of New York (”FRBNY”) will be issuing a Request for Project Pricing (”RFPP”) for vendors to develop and implement a social media strategy.
You have been identified as one of suitable candidates for the upcoming RFPP and we would appreciate it if you could get back to me ASAP and provide me with necessary Info for a setup in our e-Sourcing tool.
In particular, we are interested in your company’s name and address as well as the your company user’s name, phone, fax, email and address.
In order set you up in our e-Sourcing tool and add you to the above event, you would also need to complete, execute and return FRBNY NDA to my attention ASAP.
Feel free to contact me at anytime if you have any questions.
Thank you,
Miroslav Katava
I am not a journalist or in the media I am just a struggling actor in New York City. We have had many conversations about politics in the past and see things from different sides of the spectrum.
The problem between press and the media is the both have chosen a political party to champion and there are few reporters left to ask for the real truth without a slant or spin to help the side.
We not only need both sides of the story. We need the press and the media to put aside their agenda and seek the truth. The media and press has chosen to help the democratic ticket win every election for decades, especially in the two thousand eight election.
The L.A. Times actually bought a tape of Senator Obama giving a speech at an Islamic dinner and buried it in their vault so the American public could not view and judge the content for themselves. That is not the intended job of the press or the media.
All I am saying is if the media and press does not go after both political parties with the same vigor this country is doomed at the hands of the media becoming propagandists..

Two years after graduating, Obama was hired in Chicago as director of the Developing Communities Project (DCP), a church-based community organization originally comprising eight Catholic parishes in Roseland, West Pullman, and Riverdale on Chicago’s South Side. He worked there as a community organizer from June 1985 to May 1988.;
