I heard it on Special Report With Brit Hume. It was part of his Grapevine segment at the half-hour.

ABC NEWS HEAD DECLARES: JOURNALISTS SHOULD HAVE 'NO OPINION' IF TERROR ATTACKS WERE 'RIGHT OR WRONG'

There are no journalists at ABC news.

[Mr. Mulliner]

I don't know about ABC, but I don't doubt that they have completely avoided mention of the attack. However, here's an item from yesterday's MRC Cyberalert about how Dan Rather reported it.

The U.S. is to blame for the killing of 16 Protestant worshipers in Pakistan? That seemed to be the implication of what Dan Rather said on Monday night: "Religious tensions are running higher after the U.S.-led terror war in Afghanistan touched off such events as a funeral today for Pakistani Christians gunned down during church services yesterday."

Rather's brief item in full from the October 29 CBS Evening News: "In Pakistan, religious tensions are running higher after the U.S.-led terror war in Afghanistan touched off such events as a funeral today for Pakistani Christians gunned down during church services yesterday. Three masked gunmen fired on the Protestant congregation, meeting in a Catholic church, with automatic weapons, killing at least 16 people. No one has claimed direct responsibility."

I'm confused. So "religious tensions are running higher" because of a funeral for the victims of a terrorist attack, not because of the attack itself? And the attack was fueled not by hatred of Christians and/or Westerners, but by a reaction to the war?

Not surprised! CHRISTIANS are considered THE ENEMY of the socialist/hollywood/media

Since when have journalists been objective about anything? The Media stopped striving for objectivity back in the early 1970's!

Old news. Been on multiple websites already.

Fox reported last evening that there was not one single mention of the massacre of Christians in Pakistan on ABC World News Tonight.

Well, the official ABC position on the subject is that they have no opinion on whether killing Christians is good or bad....

[Saundra Duffy]

Christians are not worthy of mention. Same with Chandra Levy. If it might make a Democrat look bad, or feel uncomfortable, it's a non story. For victory & freedom!!!

[Saundra Duffy]

I heard that those were Protestants holding a church service in a Catholic Church. Also, there were CHILDREN who were massacred. God help us all. For victory & freedom!!!

[slimer]

but they sure played the bombing of the U.N. food storage facility in Afghanistan over and over and over again.

Thanks for the post - I had kept forgetting to e-mail ABC to tell'em my whole immediate family, four households and a couple of college kids, refuse to watch ABC since 11 September; I finally took care of it, thanks to your reminder!
