VieBleu, THANK YOU for your perfectly worded email to David at America Talks. I hope Debra will feel empowered by your outreach and realize there are many, many people who care. She has not fallen through the cracks. I hope David asks her whether she keeps in touch with any of the other girls who went through what she did. If so, that could help tremendously with encouraging the "Cosby effect."

Hey, I just looked at the video again - it is now captioned, was it before? - and at 12:48 Debra describes the female in question as "a network broadcaster for the Deaf that was on KP-TV in the early seventies..." (?!) The deaf?

Did we miss that before?

EDIT: OK I can calm down - as I watched, the captions are cleary not checked for accuracy. At one point at 15:00 Debra says "MK mind control" but the caption says "empty mind control" so the caption is an auto. I bet "deaf" was like you said, more like "desk". Sorry about that. However she does say her foster parents thought the woman they were dealing with was a "celebrity" so she definitley had to have screen time.

Oh, it was deaf! That's where I thought she was saying "des" or "desk," but I didn't hear the "k." I also thought she was saying KGTV here, although it did sound a little off, like KTGB or something. KPTV is in Oregon, and KGTB is in Texas. Can't find any reference to broadcasting for the deaf in connection with Lange or Purcell or KGTV and don't know what that would entail other than adding captions unless she was actually using sign language or was broadcasting with a sign interpreter on hand. Might have been a short-lived program.

check out the rest of my comment - I updated/edited it and take it back. The captions are not accurate, i think you were right after all.
Debra said her foster parents were excited because this person was a "celebrity" so she had to have screen time. Listening again I heard "dow" which you mentioned - a financial desk anchor who gave the stock reports on the evening news?

Ok, thanks.
