KPHO TV5's General Manager Steven Hammel asks to make up for Mack (L) debate exclusion
Ernest HancockSteven called Richard Mack to inform him that a reporter would be calling him within 24hours to schedule a time that a crew would drive to Safford to tape an interview of substantial length to air in primetime.
I presume substancial means 30 min. (half the debate length. I assume the questions will be the same as was asked the other candidates. I assume they will want to air it at 4 p.m. Sunday, but perhaps you can negotiate a better time. And I assume this has been forwarded to KTAZ-tv in Flagstaff.
You guys stood toe to toe with an arrogant, biased and unresponsive media outlet and they blinked. I am so impressed!
This is a victory for the average citizen no matter what their party politics consists of.
Thank you for modeling the trait that it takes courage, determination and a backbone to make a change in our country.
I watched the Tucson debate and Richard Mack was the only candidate that came across as being a real person who is not driven by external or selfish reasons for wanting to serve our country. Mr. Mack is genuine, sincere and espouses the American values that I am trying to instill in my young son. Now, the rest of the State will get another opportunity to see what I discovered about his character and his true love for the country, that I found, when I interviewed Richard on two separate occasions.
This event give me hope that we can change our country for the better, one step at a time.It is a very small step, but it is a step.
This made my day!
Knock'em dead, Richard!
