Sinclair stations won’t run “Nightline” tribute
NewsBlues.com is reporting [no free link] that Sinclair Broadcast Group has ordered its ABC-affiliated stations not to carry tomorrow’s “Nightline,” which will air the names and photos of soldiers who have been killed in combat in Iraq.
Sinclair General Counsel Barry Faber tells the site: “We find it to be contrary to the public interest.”
The boycott will affect eight ABC-affiliated Sinclair stations.
I’ve never considered Koppel more than a gov’t salesman. My guess is they did some polling and decided showing these pictures would generate some rabid support for the occupation. If they truly wanted to show the ‘human face’ they would also be broadcasting material such as this:
“This Is The Massacre, The Holocaust That We Are Seeing In Fallujah“
The Dick and Pony show is not suitable for the general public, either?
Aren’t you so fortunate to have these decisions taken completely out of your hands!
Roll over and play dead for the laydees and germs. Nice doggies.
