They only protect their agenda and their jobs w/high salaries.

Here is their press release, from their site:
Offender: David Letterman on “Late Show with David Letterman”
Media Outlet: CBS, aired 6/8/09
The Offense: Late night TV host David Letterman “joked” that during their recent trip to New York, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s daughter “was knocked up by Alex Rodriguez” during a Yankees baseball game. The next night Letterman said that the hardest part of Palin’s trip was “keeping Eliot Spitzer away from her daughter.”
NOW Analysis: After two nights of “jokes” at the expense of Palin and her family, Letterman tried to explain himself and offer something of an apology. On his June 10 show, Letterman said he was referring to Palin’s 18-year-old daughter, Bristol — not the 14-year-old daughter who actually accompanied Palin on her New York trip. Letterman said “I recognize that these are ugly” jokes. NOW agrees. Comedians in search of a laugh should really know better than to snicker about men having sex with teenage girls (or young women) less than half their age.
The sexualization of girls and women in the media is reaching new lows these days — it is exploitative and has a negative effect on how all women and girls are perceived and how they view themselves. Letterman also joked about what he called Palin’s “slutty flight attendant look” — yet another example of how the media love to focus on a woman politician’s appearance, especially as it relates to her sexual appeal to men. Someone of Letterman’s stature, who appears on what used to be known as “the Tiffany Network” (CBS), should be above wallowing in the juvenile, sexist mud that other comedians and broadcasters seem to prefer.
On that point, it’s important to note that when Chelsea Clinton was 13 years old she was the target of numerous insults based on her appearance. Rush Limbaugh even referred to her as the “White House dog.” NOW hopes that all the conservatives who are fired up about sexism in the media lately will join us in calling out sexism when it is directed at women who aren’t professed conservatives.
"Thank you for your comments and your kind words regarding the professionalism of flight attendants. Like you, we were upset by the recent comments made by David Letterman. Unfortunately, sexist themes of the past were instrumental in diminishing the role of flight attendants as safety professionals. We have worked very hard to overcome that public perception and proudly, have made great strides. Never before has there been a time when flight attendants have been so recognized for their role as safety professionals. Because of the outpouring of responses to the segment that ran on Monday night, Mr. Letterman apologized for his remarks. We trust that he takes to heart how his words affected the proud and hard working flight attendants across the country and never makes this mistake again.
No mention of their chastising him though. I am emailing him back to let him know that was no apology.
“New to the Internet?””
me? yeah...in 1989...or did you mean their post? more likely, either that or their search engine must be broken, because a “letterman” search should have popped this up...don’t you think?
...nice job...I have had a slew of non-answers myself...
Stupid stewardesses. On his own slur against flight attendents, Mr. Letterman's apology was as follows:
"I kinda liked that joke!"
I wouldn't depend on it, personally. It took me 2 clicks to find their press release without it.

Nice work...but, just out of curiosity, how do you know it wasn’t just put there to blunt criticism of the organization?
Generally, when singling out a totally unrelated event as "important to note", one should in fact cite an event that actually happened, rather than one that was made up by Al Franken.
Thanks NOW. Mooooooooooooo.
Rush will be all over it, I hope.
“I wouldn’t depend on it, personally. It took me 2 clicks to find their press release without it.”
VERY impressive...must have had a thousand and one people an hour looking at that site for two days and you found it in “two clicks” that makes you a super sleuth...your secret decoder and shiny badge are in the mail...also, your NOW membership card will be renewed for free...
