Peace and Don Firth - I am proud to be in your company. I have just sent the following message via Peace's link:

I wish to congratulate the superb Mika Brzezinski for refusing to lead a serious news broadcast with a piece of irrelevant trivia. When there are more journalists of her dignity and integrity, the public will once again become informed enough to hold sensible debates on issues which matter.
Yours faithfully,
Alan Moorhouse

I hope a lot more similar messages arrive on that editor's desk.
