They brought up some issues and exaggerated them. However, I'm not going to complain because they didn't accurately portray the deaf culture. TV never portrays the blacks, the jewish or the French accurately. Drama is what sells, not the truth.Abbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17272667052295179028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7696461118314848250.post-73219880571602354932008-04-01T18:20:00.000-04:002008-04-01T18:20:00.000-04:00Thank you, Jean, Barbara DiGi and BR for being a l...Thank you, Jean, Barbara DiGi and BR for being a level-headed individuals bringing the best out of our deaf community. <BR/><BR/>I am a realist myself, Anonymous 12:05. :) <BR/><BR/>Richard Roehem, I am not really picking on deaf people in any way. I did target Jamie Berke because she use "Deafness" on her blog title. I like Jamie as a person. <BR/><BR/>That was a real fair game for Mike McConnell. He was the one, who scoffed at us, deaf people expressed concerns about the hiring of hearing person for deaf roles last summer 2007. <BR/><BR/>RLMRLMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03944804788920891331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7696461118314848250.post-71870141467933592852008-04-01T18:14:00.000-04:002008-04-01T18:14:00.000-04:00Anonymous #1 We could establish the "deaf" medi...Anonymous #1 <BR/><BR/> We could establish the "deaf" media watchdog to monitor and educate the world of filmmakers and television producers. <BR/><BR/> Many ethnic and racial and sexual preference minorities DO have their own media watchdogs. The Arabs and GLBTs have their own excellent media watchdog organizations. <BR/><BR/> We really could file the lawsuit against the CBS-TV based on constant portrayal of deaf people in questionable accuracy/balanced viewpoints. That would be real costly for us to finance the legal action. The CBS-TV have the big legal sharks on their team. Look at Dan Rather! He got scapegoated and unfairly chopped down by the CBS-TV. <BR/><BR/>RLMRLMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03944804788920891331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7696461118314848250.post-68308296090241120212008-04-01T10:05:00.000-04:002008-04-01T10:05:00.000-04:00Thank you!

Enough with the negativity! Enough with the false picture of the Deaf community! Enough with the labels! Enough with paternalism!<BR/><BR/>Although it is only a T.V. show but don't forget it is much more sensitive and dangerous when portraying a small minority group.

That's it.<BR/><BR/>People see you pick on deaf people and people talk about it at all levels.<BR/><BR/>I have 3 oral deaf friends who are tangent lighting specialist subcontractors in several studios. They've been picked on for decades by the ASL class and they whine plenty about it to producers who remember and share this negative perception of deaf community around.OCDAChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04746602479574653008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7696461118314848250.post-63303856144800219002008-03-31T19:09:00.000-04:002008-03-31T19:09:00.000-04:00any chance we could sue for defamation of subgroup...any chance we could sue for defamation of subgroup?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
