Every time I read about a nurse-in happening as a protest, I also take a deep breath and wonder if it perpetuates the perception of the "radical" breastfeeding proponents. There are so many places our energy is needed and our power should be focused where real changes can be made. Is a statement by Barbara Walters really that important? >Dianne Veatch >RN IBCLC I wonder what the nurse-in did for the View's ratings? How many Nielson points did they gain when folks got curious and tuned in? How happy is ABC with the increased ratings and what will they say to the View ladies about it? What about writing to the show's sponsors to tell them how offensive the remarks were? Carbon copy to ABC's advertising department. In any corporation money is the bottome line. If the sponsors think they will lose sales and ABC thinks they will lose advertising dollars, something will be done about it. -Claire Bloodgood, IBCLC *********************************************** To temporarily stop your subscription: set lactnet nomail To start it again: set lactnet mail (or digest) To unsubscribe: unsubscribe lactnet All commands go to [log in to unmask] The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(R) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
