Re: Fine Kari, we all bow down and agree with you...
by A is for Anna
For the record, I did not come here to bash Finola...I came with the hope that she might come to understand why this program is offensive to so many families who have been touched by adoption.>>>>>>>>>>>
But you did bash her by calling into question her morality and integrity, not once but twice. Personally I found the use of Edmund Burke's quotation re: "evil flourishes.....", specifically offensive, especially in light of how this quote is usually used. I would also like to point out that Ms. Hughes' Family has also been touched by adoption.
Regardless, you have the right to express your concerns regarding this controversial show on FH's website, without a doubt, and you have. And again, I'm not responding to your posts to stir up a debate re: the show. Like I said, I'd rather have Anna back on ABCD - however, even though this show may not be to my liking (as I'm no fan of the reality genre), I refuse to label the producers or Finola as evil for being involved with it. And I also stand by my belief that this show is no more or less offensive than other "exploitive" reality shows. And lastly, let's not forget that in the process of producing the 8 shows, the producers and Fox reunited 3 dozen adoptees with their birth fathers, and this is a good thing, a very good thing.
Take care.
