High school and middle schools that are still under contract to Channel One should begin to fight back by refusing to allow Channel One "reporters" into their schools.
Students should begin to understand that these young "reporters" for Channel One are using students to grab fame and big money. Since their audience is under a very strict contract that requires the showing of Channel One for 90% of all school days, these "reporters", or "on-air personalities", don’t have to worry about being good at what they do.
This school year it appears that the Channel One "reporters" will be Errol Barnett, Janet Choi, Gotham Chopra, Seth Doane, Krystal Greene, Maria Menounos, Derrick Shore, and Andrew Yani. Students across the country should consider these eight opportunists as persona non grata on their campus.
Judging from last year, Derrick Shore is being promoted as the number one reporter and possible next "star" like Lisa Ling and Kris Osborn.
These young people are the "nice" face on an ugly company. If you are a student at a school with Channel One, realize that your school is forcing this company on you and that most students your age would never be treated this way at their school. They would laugh their heads off if they were shown a Channel One TV show.
