Dear Channel 8,

Steve Jerve will ALWAYS be my favorite weatherman in the whole wide world, but I must say, I lost a little respect for Channel 8 this past weekend. Your post about a teacher being arrested for DUI was unnecessary, hurtful and I think just flat out mean.  What she did was wrong, but I'm sure she is not the only person arrested for DUI this entire weekend. You singled her out by her profession.  There should be some sort of name for that -- it's not racial profiling, it's not sexism or ageism, but it is still a sort of prejudice!  I tried to just let it go, but the more I thought about it, the more upset I felt. Shame on you!

Now, the chances of someone from Channel 8 reading this are slim and none, but it made me feel better to say it.
