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.

Thanks:)
Great idea. That would rupture a few blood vessels in liberal skulls, and send even more into fits of sputtering incoherence.

Excellent! Sinclair just earned an 'A' rating in my book. And I will surely let them know it.
I have no problem if ABC or Koppel or any network want to honor our fallen defenders. But, for the last 20 years, they have all but ignored Veteran's Day and Memorial Day. As Hewitt pointed out yesterday, the legitimate time to do this is on Memorial day only a month away, and not during sweeps week, and not in the middle of a major offensive, and NOT when it will be used by the enemy as a weapon of propaganda and recruitment by the enemy...
... and Man has many enemies at the moment it seems, both at home and abroad.

April 29, 1975 - The Fall of Saigon.
Today is the 29th anniversary. Coincidence? No!
