Here’s the latest feedback from our Channel 7 and wxyz.com viewers.  Carmen Joyner sent us this comment about our ARISE Detroit editorial.  She writes:

“Congratulations on the 10th anniversary of this organization.  It has made a tremendous difference in Detroit neighborhood.  Keep up the good work!”

Our editorials urging people to vote in this year’s elections and learn as much as they can about the candidates and issues through our Democracy 2016 coverage sparked these comments about our presidential candidates.  Maria Rosario’s thoughts about Donald Trump:

“Everything he (has) tried to do went bankrupt.  His only success is cheating honest working people out of their money.”

Richard Short on Hillary Clinton:  

“I have not understood yet why she has not been thrown in jail.  How can a person that commits treason…hold office in this country anyway?”

And Dana Doonkeen asked this question:

“Why can’t voters just vote and either dignify or crucify candidates by themselves rather than lump them all together?  Not all Democrats or all Republicans are liars.”

And finally, these comments about annual Woodward Dream Cruise editorial.  David Tyler writes:

“Thank you for reminding everyone about the huge and historic contributions of Detroit’s auto industry.  We made America the great country it is today.”

And Rebecca Caverness said:

“I love the Dream Cruise.  It is so Detroit!  Those beautiful cars from the 1940”s, 50’s and 60’s put the world on wheels and our Motor City on the map!” 

Enjoy the cruise and thanks for writing.
