7 ABC affiliates ordered not to air 'Nightline'

WinstonSmith,

Sir, you amaze me by supporting my point of view!!

The news WAS reporting the sexual antics of Clinton 24/7, and that's the point.......It was never about philandering, but that the President of the United States of America, with forethought and intent, lied under oath to Congress. The press wanted you to believe that it was about sex, so that they could diffuse the real issue. They are doing the same thing now. They want you to believe that hey are concerned, but have other agendas at play. If they are so concerned, why not cover the millions dead under Saddam, or the fallen Afghan soldiers? Why not cover the victims of the Spanish train bombings? Why? No ratings, sensationalism, or political gains.

Why is it that the republican fear people telling the truth about soldiers dieing in iraq.

In WWII, names appeared in papers and on the radio. In Vietnam, they were read on TV.

Why is it only a stink if Bush is up for reelection?

I am also interested in a response.

If this was a just war, why would they want to hide anything.

Its all over the internet, all over the news daily, all over the talk shows, all over the newspapers and magazines. If you want a complete listing I can name several news websites with a full list, some complete with how and when they died. So who the hell is hiding anything?

You people speak as though 98 percent of the population live in closets with one TV set tuned to Nightline as their only means of truth and communication to the outside world.

Well you're opinions are all well and good, but I know what is best for this country, and am more patriotic than anyone else here on this board. And I say the soldiers who have died serving their country can be honored by showing thier pictures.

Zephyr's new modus operandi is to try and be a parody of a neocon or something. He just comes off as a dumbass.

Actually I'm parodying you. The fact that you think I come across as a dumbass means I'm doing a good job.

Not even pressure from the conservative media could hold Nightline down.

NEW YORK (AP) -- The folks at ABC's "Nightline" thought Friday's telecast with the names of Americans killed in Iraq would be a ratings loser -- and the opposite turned out to be true.
