Tampa Channel 8 to Not Allow On-Screen Personalities to Wear Red, White, Blue Ribbons

MJ Morning Show, Tampa, FL | 9/20/01 | MJ Kelly, On-Air Radio Personality, WFLZ 93.3

[Real Cynic No More]

My wife just informed me that MJ Kelly, of the MJ Morning Show, broadcast in Tampa and St. Louis, just stated that Tampa's television Channel 8 (an NBC affiliate) has forbidden their on-air tv personalities to wear red, white, and blue ribbons, because they're (the station) going to question Bush's actions.

Has anyone else heard this?

[Prodigal Son]

I wonder if Drudge Report knows about this? He's been posting other info about Anti American politicians, companies etc.

READY ON THE LEFT...READY ON THE RIGHT...START FREEPING!

I've set this up so they just need to be clicked on and your email program should open up a window...
I also suggest cc'ing to the Kmart folks, and tell them you won't shop there anymore because of channel 8. not that you would anyway. this should work well on the sales folks, since Kmart seems to be their only sponsor that isn't another website...feedback@bluelight.com and kmartccn@kmart.com

What a great message of support to send our troops at U.S. Special Ops Command, which is located there. These people need serious freeping...

[KneelBeforeZod]

and that relates to not being able to fly the colors how?

[mystery-ak]

Why is your post directed to me?

[BlueLancer]

"...and we precipitate WW3"

I've just about reached the point of saying, "I'm tired of hearing about it ... bring it on and let's get it over with one way or another."

[KneelBeforeZod]

most of his posts are about this being a plot for the gubment to start matial law. oh and, "remember the maine"

[truthkeeper]

The counterculture media elite is slowly emerging from their hiding places. I've noted that the prevalent story is slowly evolving to the overwhelming cruelty and hatred being directed by our (presumably white) citizens at American Muslims (of color).

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Good point about verification. Fox news reported that a company named MCCI was swamped by hate mail and calls, even though they had nothing to do with NCCI's flag ban. Please check these things out so we can give the right people the hell they deserve.

[TLBSHOW]

Get the right information and roll.

[JCG]

We pay for this, we're entitled to know the facts before our economy is trashed and we precipitate WW3------- I'd hoped that there were some critical thinkers on this board who could see through this sham.

I see smoking rubble in New York and Washington -- move your tinfoil hat crap to another forum asswipe.  We're at war.

I think it is time for some peaceful resistence to those in authority who are disallowing these kinds of patriotic demonstrations. WEAR THE RIBBONS ANYWAY FOLKS. If you are fired, then let places like Free Republic and others deal with them.

Don't let anybody tell us we cannot fly our flag or wear our ribbons!!!

[Shannon]

VERIFIED! I just spoke to their Assoc. Producer and he said they can wear red, white & blue BUT they can't wear ribbons. I asked why was that. He didn't know. I asked who made that decision. It came from Forrest Carr, the News Director. I said I wanted to talk to him but he wasn't in yet. The man said I could leave him a message if I liked. I said I sure would. The man laughed and said lots of messages have already been left. So, I did. Have at it guys; give Forrest a piece of your mind.

collateral damage.

[Hugh Akston]

I appreciate your efforts in trying to call for a verification time out.

I wish more people would heed your words.
