"As a busy college professor I want to take this opportunity to commend Tampa's ABC News for its excellent Sunday morning programming, viz. Flashpoint. Whatever is scheduled always interests me. The topics are diverse and outstanding, informative and relevant. Brendan McLaughlin doesn't hold back and is delightfully informed and entertaining!
Please keep up the good work."

Comment received regarding July 30th Flashpoint:
"Brendan, I very rarely send comments about any program on any network or affiliate. Occasionally, there is an exception. Your program this morning, July 30, 2006, without a doubt, has been one of those rare moments that define a 'breath of fresh air' for viewers. Randy and Joe obviously know how to be adversaries and yet have the intellect to 'join forces' and provide insight into issues that have far too long been neglected. When the letters and emails of condemnation besiege, and they will, know there are a great many of us out here who applaud you for an excellent Sunday Morning presentation.
Thank You"
