To,
The Board of Directors
Canadian Broadcasting Corporation

Dear Directors,

We, the undersigned, are shocked and sadenned by the news that you have declined to renew the contract of CounterSpin. The show was one of very few in North America which covered the burning issues of the day with direct audience involvement.

It was also a show which was thought-provoking and which gave ample oppurtunity for all sides of an argument to present their case. In an age of "embedded journalism," CounterSpin courageously upheld the highest standards of bias free journalism.

We request to not to cancel this important show and immediately renew the contract. Many people will be disappointed if you dont.
