UTTER RUBBISH!
The protests are pure hypocracy.
In the pre-cable days, one network did a pretend NUCLEAR POWER PLANT MELT DOWN! simulated tv show.
They literally did it "ala war of the worlds".
This was back when the hippies were protesting nuclear power and the china syndrome propaganda movie was out.
I saw that one! Saturday Night Live. I think they called it "The Pepsi Syndrome."
Ummm,
Got caught by the HTML filter...
Ummm, < }B^)
Seems to me, it was ABC itself that did "The Day After", about the effect of a nuclear bomb on small-town America (Lawrence, Kansas, if memory serves).
And there was another newsy-like show that talked about blowing a nuke at the Charleston, SC, Navy yard.
One more for ABC-BS: This ain't the first time that a nuke went off in Southern Cal on "24". Think it was S3 when the CTU director, who'd been exposed to severe radiation, guided an airplane away from LA into the desert.
Don't recall reading any whining about any of these bombing incidents...
