After hearing her wanna-be apology I decided to write another email.

To Whom It May Concern:

I emailed you a complaint previously regarding your “Who Knew?” segment of the Today Show on June 25, 2008.  During this segment Ms. Gifford called Pagans “nasty” and “bad.”

I had hoped for a public apology, and on June 27, 2008 Ms. Gifford gave a blanket apology to anyone she had ever offended.  This so-called apology is more insulting than her uneducated remark about Pagans.

Ms. Gifford needs to say what she did wrong, and why it was wrong.  Your viewers need to hear that religious intolerance will not be tolerated and that it is not something to be taken lightly.

If the producers or any member of the Today Show staff are having trouble figuring out what the big deal is, then change the word Pagan to the word Jew, or the “N” word, or use the name of your religion.  How would you feel?  How accepting of her apology would you be?  I think you would be shocked and insulted.  I am.

Please issue a real apology immediately as this whole situation is sickening.
